To be considered a returning team, a team needs to have, from the previous year, the skip and one other player, or the 3 other players minus the skip. Any other combination will be considered a “new” team to this league.

Tuesday Social League
Tuesday Social League
The Tuesday Social League is an individual-entry social league. We curl from 5:00 to 7:00 pm on Tuesdays. You don't need to have a team to join. Instead, you join as an individual and we place you on a team based your preference and experience. Half-way through the season, we change up the teams so you get to play with different people.
We are an open league, which means our teams are any gender combination. We welcome new members at the start of the season in September. New curlers are welcome, and we recommend you take the Learn to Curl program at the same time. We can provide basic instruction on the first night and ongoing support through the season. It’s an excellent opportunity for someone new to the game to learn in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
Our league is also popular with regular curlers looking for a second league that is at the same time each week and is not a late night.
During the season we’ll have several fun curling games and a pub night or two where we go out for refreshments after the game. We celebrate the end of the season with a dinner banquet and prize table on the final night. In June, we have a fun reunion with a friendly softball game followed by dinner at a local pub.

Proper head protection is mandatory for all little rock curlers. The club does have approved head protection for sale if you do not have a proper helmet or other.
As for other equipment, the curlers will require a clean pair of shoes that have not been worn outside and we recommend purchasing a slip on slider for one of the shoes which can be purchased at the pro shop or from online curling suppliers. There are club sliders that can be borrowed - but these are first come first serve.
There are club brooms that curlers can use and there are enough for everyone if you do not have a broom.
