The Whitby Curling Club is pleased to offer a variety of mixed curling leagues that cater to a variety of individual needs. Members of all skill levels, from beginner to expert, are welcome. Join as an individual, with a friend or as a couple and enjoy the sport in a casual, friendly and social environment.
Social-oriented Leagues:
1) Sunday Adult Novice League
An ideal opportunity for beginners to learn the sport of curling. This league is intended for adult curlers with 0 to 5 years’ experience. Games are played on Sundays alternating between 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm. Club curling brooms are provided.
2) Friday 4:15 pm League
This league is ideal for members of any skill level who want to curl in a social environment. The season is divided into 3 draws, with 5 to 7 games scheduled for each draw. Teams are reshuffled after every draw to promote the social aspect of the league. Not to worry, "curling couples" stay together throughout the year..., unless otherwise requested.
To promote the social atmosphere of the league, the League Conveners hosts bi-weekly dinners* upstairs for Club members and guests at 7:00 pm following the games. Pizza is served in the lounge after the final game of each draw and prizes are awarded to the top three teams. New members are welcome.
* Event registration and payment is required.
Social/Competitive Leagues:
1) Wednesday and Friday Mixed League
Wednesday - Game times alternated between 6:45pm & 9:00pm.
Friday - Game times alternate between 6:45pm & 9:00pm.
The season is divided into 3 draws, with 5 to 7 games scheduled for each draw. Teams are reshuffled after every draw to promote the social aspect of the league. Not to worry, "curling couples" stay together throughout the year..., unless otherwise requested. Wednesday and Friday curlers come together for the playoffs.
Draw winning teams and teams made up of individuals with the best points compete in the playoffs in a double-elimination knockout format. The two-week playoff culminates with the mid-April Saturday championship play-downs and a not to be missed mixed league closing dinner and evening.
2) Lawes/Cameron Mixed Doubles League on Monday Nights
This Mixed Doubles League operates like any other league run at Whitby. The league plays on Monday nights with games alternating between 6:45 pm and 8:30 pm.
Changes to the Mixed Doubles rules have made the game even more appealing to players. Curlers no longer need to get up and sweep their own rock after throwing (although they can if they are so inclined and coordinated). The partner can sweep the rock after it is thrown…, as they are not required to hold the broom in the house. The game is fast paced and fun to play!
Points will be accumulated throughout the season and a play-off will be scheduled. It is anticipated the WCC Mixed Doubles Champions will receive their entry into the TCA Mixed Doubles Championship.
3) Wednesday Night Open Competitive
This is a team-entry, competitive (but still social!) league. Teams may be comprised of any combination of people/genders. Teams remain together for the entire season (three or four draws and playoffs). It is recommended that players have a minimum of 5 years' experience to play in this league.
The league will play on Wednesday nights. Game times alternate between 6:45pm and 9:00pm.
While this is a team entry league, individuals and couples may sign up. The League Convenor will do their best to connect you with teams looking for additional players.
