We offer a large variety of leagues that accommodate a wide range of curlers. So, whether you’re a recreational player or someone competitive; if you’re 6, 106 or somewhere in-between, the Alliston Curling Club is sure to have a league suitable for you.
Monday Afternoon - Women's Jitney
The Monday afternoon “ladies” league is a great opportunity for any female wanting to curl for the love of the game; to practice for higher (curling) aspirations, or to learn the game. Teams are made up jitney style (new teams made up every week) and members can choose the positions they wish or it can\may be determined by the conveners.
Once you have registered, the conveners will review the COVID-19 Monday afternoon rules of play with you. We hope to see more out on Monday for a great way to enjoy a day!

Monday Evening - Men's
Welcome to the 2021-22 Monday Night Men’s League.
A fun night of curling with a little bit of a competitive edge. The Monday night league teams are chosen by the Skips through a draft process which creates an opportunity for new and old members to meet different curlers from other leagues. We divide the year into two halves and pick new teams for each half. Last season, it was great in 2019-20 that our league grew to 2 draws for the second half. Maybe this year we’ll have 2 draws all season!
Thanks to Brian Birkley for running 2020-21 league last season.
We welcome Dave Barber as out convenor, please contact Dave Barber [email protected] if you might be willing to get involved or if you have any questions or suggestions.
Tuesday / Thursday - Open Daytime League
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons used to be just for seniors but we live in a “new-normal” where these leagues are open to everyone! Stick curlers always welcome!
Daytime Open curling is an ideal activity for those who do not like to drive at night or perhaps those who do shiftwork.
We use a jitney format so there are no set teams and no requirement to play every week. Due to Covid restrictions, players will have to pre- register (online or by phone) to fill the 32 available spots for each game time. Based on sign-up, teams will be made in advance and posted in the basement so you will learn as you hang your coat and change your shoes which
sheet and rocks are yours. Pre-game practice is encouraged for those ready to go early.
We are hoping to continue our annual tradition of a year-end bonspiel. This will be our 24 th year. More details to follow.
If fellowship and daytime curling are what you crave, please join us!

Tuesday Evening - Choose Your Own Team
Tuesday Night CYO is the perfect mixture of fun and competition. It is great for sharpening your skills, whether you have curled for 1 year or 20 years. Teams can be comprised of men, women, juniors or can be mixed.
More information will be added once we have our 2021-22 league format set.
We look forward to the return of previous teams and to welcoming new teams. If you do not have a team but wish to join the league, please contact me and I will try my best to connect you with other curlers like yourself.
We appreciate the efforts of Patti, Henry, Brian and Janet who organized this league for many years.

Wednesday Evening - Women's
The Wednesday Night Ladies’ League is a fun evening of ladies coming together in a sisterhood of curling and fun! This is not a competitive league, but one where skilled and new curlers can play together and both learn how to curl and/or enhance their curling skills. There are two seasons, fall and winter, and teams are selected at the beginning of each season. It is a wonderful time of camaraderie and socialization.
We have set aside March 13, 2021 for our annual Ladies’ Bonspiel organized and sponsored by the Wednesday Ladies.This Bonspiel has been open to curling clubs all around southern Ontario. This year, due to Covid-19, it will likely only be open to ACC Ladies. Should still be a fun day! If you are a lady ACC Member, consider signing up!
We welcome all women interested in playing or learning the game of curling in this 2020-2021 Curling Season.

Thursday Evening - Choose Your Own Team
Update September 17, 2021
Al Corbeil has stepped up and will be taking over the Thursday night league, thanks Al.
Please contact Al with any questions.
From the desk of Richard Nishikawa August 7, 2021
Firstly, I really want to thank everyone for making the most of the 2020-21 season
Despite the pandemic we got a lot of curling in. I meant to do this at the end of the season but... sometimes when the season is over it is like when you finish cutting the grass… you throw the mower in the shed and close the door until the next time…
I hope everyone can look to the 2021-22 season with some hope and anticipation
I am letting everyone know that I will not be able to organize the thursday night league this year. I am having surgery in September and I do not feel I can devote the time to do it before the start of the season as I recover.
Sooooo…. we are looking for a replacement convenor. If anyone is interested please let a board member know. If you want to ask me anything about the process involved email me back.
This i s a great bunch of people to work with. there is some time to commit to it. I hope someone will feel good about stepping forward
I am going to be able to curl the season if there is one
Looking forward to perhaps seeing you at the club

Friday Night - Mixed League
Hey everyone! Hope you and your family are staying healthy and safe during this Covid-19 pandemic. It’s that time of year again. Time to stop planning you next “Staycation”, grab
your curling brooms and plan to come out to the Friday Night Mixed League.
The Friday Night Mixed League is a fun, non-competitive, social night of curling. Friday Nights are ideal for new curlers, so if you know anyone who wants to curl, convince them to give it a try. We’re all there to have a good time and help new curlers learn the game.
I hope you all had a chance to read over Susan Froud’s email regarding the Covid guidelines and return to play. The club has adopted CurlON’s guidelines for play ensuring social
distancing on the ice, and have developed protocols to ensure safety and social distancing in the lounge and locker room areas. If you didn’t receive the email, you can find it on the club’s website or send us an email (see below) and we will forward you a copy.
We look forward to seeing everyone on the ice!
Stay safe,
Anne & Greg

Sunday Afternoon - Juniors League
These are challenging times! We don’t want to add stress to your families’ lives but maybe you can consider curling a low-risk extracurricular activity for your children this winter?
The ACC has devised a system to allow curling this season that includes physical distancing and sanitization of equipment with rules around play, etc. that are designed to keep everyone as safe as possible while still enjoying the great game of curling. With these guidelines, it will be impossible to provide Junior Learn-to- Curl, as I am sure you can appreciate, so we will are not expecting to hold a program for new junior curlers.
For more mature/experienced juniors (age 12+) who are able to respect the guidelines, Sunday Afternoon Juniors will provide an opportunity to play games. Adult coaches will be available to provide technical suggestions and strategy guidance. With pre-registration for attendance (online or by phone), weekly games/teams would be made up in advance and posted upon arrival so sheets and rocks can be pre-assigned.
Parents/guardians would be welcome as spectators during junior league play but would be expected to follow our guidelines and wear masks when in the lounge.
Looking forward to some fun curling games with the juniors on Sundays!
