Scottish Curling are very pleased to showcase the next set of ‘Curl Up’ dates, looking forward to the lighter nights and brighter weather on the horizon.
This latest tranche includes some brand new topics, featuring a session on tactics, hosted by the indominable Mr David ‘Rambo’ Ramsay as well as a technically focused presentation on the key skill of ice making, to name but two.
They are delighted with the feedback so far, and we are eager to keep the momentum going by offering a little ‘something for everyone’ over the course of the coming weeks.
Scottish Curling Development Manager Scott Andrews first came up with the idea for ‘Curl Up’, after delivering some virtual content on tactics to Junior Clubs in Ayr.
The feeling was, that if there was an appetite at local level, then why not offer something for all our members, and beyond.
Scott says:
”The engagement so far from the members has been overwhelmingly positive with over 100 signing up to our most recent workshop (‘Sweep and Slide’ with Academy Manager, Sophie Jackson).
To be in a position to offer this range of sessions – just a matter of weeks after launching ‘Curl Up’ – proves there’s a real hunger for it, and a desire among our contributors to give back to the membership, and that makes it all worthwhile.
We are planning to continue our ‘Curl Up’ sessions until the middle of April. Looking further ahead, ideas are already taking shape to start ‘Curl Up’ again in August leading up to the start of the season 2021/22.
We hope that members have found the sessions fun and interesting. As a team we have certainly enjoyed hosting them and giving members some curling filled evenings in the absence of on-ice action.”
