The following is a description of the leagues the Columbus Curling Club is offering for the Fall Session in the 2012-13 season.
All leagues only play on their respective day/night each week and there is no cross-league play.
All leagues, with the exception of the Wednesday Competitive and Instructional Leagues, commence the week of October 15 and continue through to the Christmas break. This provides 9 or 10 weeks of league play, with the variation in length due to holidays and bonspiels. The Wednesday Competitive league continues for approximately 20 weeks and the Instructional Leagues run for five-week periods.
Prerequisites:
Instructional League registration requires that you have completed a Learn to Curl clinic or participated in a private outing at the club.
All other leagues (with the exception of Wednesday Competitive) require the completion of one Instructional League, or have equivalent curling experience, before registration is permitted.
Wednesday Competitive League requires a minimum of one year of curling experience, and one member on the team is required to have two years of experience. There are no exceptions.
