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 Morning Doubles 2023-24 (Start 10 am)
Doubles is a slightly different variation of a regular curling game in that it allows both players to take a very active role in strategy determination, and there are usually more draw shots than take-outs. The mixed doubles format is an Olympic sport, but very popular with most curling clubs using the open gender format, with sweeping optional.
Two people, of the same or mixed gender, form a team. Throwing a total of 5 rocks per end for 8 ends, the games usually last about 90 minutes. You will have the option of selecting your own partner to curl with each week, or you can use our jitney method, whereby we match you up with someone different each week.
There is no requirement to play every week. Just show up, and we provide instruction on the rules and strategy. Stick curlers are always welcome.
All age groups are thrilled with this format, and we had many “regulars” who enjoyed playing this last year. I can’t recall anyone who tried it that didn’t like it, so come out and see why!
Contact me if you have any questions.

Plays with high school teams from BMHS or NPSS on Mondays 3 to 5 pm. Coaching provided by community coaches.
Welcome to the 2023-24 Monday Night Men’s League.
Hello to all returning and possible new Monday Night Curlers.
Monday night men’s league is a fun night for those who would like to
sign up and play in a league where teams are formed via a draft.
Please indicate what position you prefer to play. Last year there
were more requests for skips than we had teams. We have lots of room for newer curlers to fill in the ranks.
It is anticipated that the games will start at 7:00 p.m. unless we exceed 9 teams.
To new curlers or those who cannot commit to every Monday; we will be open to having a position or two shared with one or more curlers, including those who would just like to come out occasionally to get extra ice time when they are available.

Tuesday & Thursday afternoons 2022-23
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 are 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. Please arrive no later than 11:45 am so we can make up the teams and be on the ice by noon. Pre-game practice is encouraged for those ready to go early.
We are hoping to return to our annual tradition of a year-end bonspiel. This will be our 26th year. More details to follow.
If fellowship and daytime curling are what you crave, please join us!

Thursday Evening CYO 2022-23
We had a fun curling season last year. Thanks to all of you who made it so!
This league is designed for already established teams. I’m hearing of some new teams that are interested in joining this league. Please let me know ASAP if you have a new or returning team interested in having fun, fellowship and a bit of exciting competition.
To accommodate players who intend to be snowbirds, we will allow new teams/players to replace travelling teams/players post-Christmas break. I believe this will make our league more inclusive, and will attract half-season participants. Please make me aware of possible post-Christmas changes so I can plan accordingly. Should you wish to curl in our CYO league and do not have a team, please contact me and I will endeavour to find a team for you if possible.
The guidelines for the league with respect to time is: no end will begin after 8:40 on the first draw and past 10:55 on the late draw.
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday nights!

Friday Night Mixed 2023-24
Welcome to the 2023-24 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.
This year we are looking forward to the return of last year’s members, more new curlers joining, as well as the return of some past members that previously curled on Friday nights. Register early, space is limited.
We will once again have music on the ice (playlist created by Friday night curlers), the weekly 50/50 draw, theme nights, mid-season, and year-end social evenings.
If you’re looking for a relaxed and fun night of curling, come out on Friday nights. If you have any inquiries about the league, contact me or Anne, by email below, we will answer any questions you may have.
We look forward to seeing everyone when the league starts up in October.

Sunday Juniors 2023-24
Welcome Back Juniors and Little Rockers! This year we have two programs to offer: Little Rockers, for kids ages 6 – 11; and Recreational Juniors, for ages 12 – 18. Both programs follow the Curling Canada curriculum, and are led by certified Club Coach Youth instructors. Our program runs on Sunday afternoons with the Little Rockers on the ice from 12 pm – 1 pm, and the Juniors from 1:15 – 2:45 pm. Both programs are eligible for half-year and full-year memberships.
Our program is designed to keep kids active and engaged by moving them through a variety of stations as they develop the desired skills through fun games, drills, and activities. Each session will consist of on-ice and off-ice warmups, safety reviews, and instruction, culminating with short games where participants can demonstrate their learning. Our Little Rockers will use our lighter-weight rocks and modified houses while the Recreational Juniors will play with the standard rocks and full-length sheets.
To keep things interesting, we have some special events planned throughout the year, including the return of our very popular Interclub Bonspiel Days with our neighbouring curling clubs. For kids interested in a bit of competition, there are opportunities to arrange matches with competitive teams from nearby clubs, or join in bonspiels hosted around the region. New this year is the opportunity for interested juniors to form their own team and play in a more structured format against other teams in our region. Although there are additional costs to these events, they are not mandatory. In keeping with tradition, we will also offer our free friends and family event to give the kids a chance to show off their skills.
Getting kids started in curling is easy and inexpensive! The curling club supplies all the equipment required. All your kids need are a clean pair of indoor running shoes and a helmet (if under 12 years old). Although helmets are not required for participants over age 12, they are still highly recommended.
We are looking forward to seeing all the Little Rockers and Juniors for some fun Sunday Curling!
