LEAGUE PLAY for Club Members!

Registration is OPEN!
ADULT LEAGUES OPEN TO ALL SKILL LEVELS!

        SCROLL DOWN this page for detailed League Descriptions.

With your annual club membership, depending on the Membership Level & league(s) you choose to play in, you'll play multiple weeks: 1 or more times/week on designated day(s) throughout the season.  At KZCC, the "Year" or Curling Season starts in the Fall (e.g., late Sept. or early Oct.) and continues all through the Winter, ending mid-Spring (e.g., late March).

Most leagues are divided into FALL & WINTER sessions (e.g., 7-8 weeks each), with the exception of Sunday's Yager League (for beginners), Monday's Schizler League which is a year-long league (both Fall and Winter sessions) and our Wednesday Mixed Doubles League.  All leagues are for adults of all ages, including younger/age 14+ and older/60+ ...as long as you can send a 42 lb. curling stone the length of a playing sheet! ;)  Note: our Juniors program meets Sunday mornings for kids of all ages -- for more info email [email protected].

PLEASE NOTE that two (2) draws may be needed for SOME LEAGUES based on demand -- i.e., one draw earlier and one later (e.g., starting at 5:30 and 8pm), instead of a single draw (e.g., at 6:30pm).

 

 REGISTRATION IS OPEN!... 

 

All KCC leagues will be held in the Zoo at Wings Event Center!  All leauges are subject to change based on number of teams per league.  Please look at the descriptions below to determine which leagues will suit you, ask questions of our league managers, and then sign up for CURLING this year!

Most of our leagues are scheduled to run the length of one 'session' ...such as our FALL Session which usually begins in late-September or early-October, and will run until about mid-December.  And then, our WINTER Session usually begins in early January and will run until the end of the season, usually until late March.  Each league has a designated time on the ice and a day or night of the week to play.  Some adjustments to start times can be anticipated from week to week (e.g., depending on ice prep.) and, for holidays and other times of the year, some leagues may also need to anticipate having "bye weeks".

If you want to find out which days/weeks you might have 'off' for certain leagues, you can check our league calendar but please also verify playable vs. bye dates with the managers of the leagues you want to play in (see email links in descriptions below). 

Below is a list of LEAGUES for the upcoming or current year.  NOTE:  times are subject to change, though usually not by much (e.g., half hour) if they do!...  

  

Sunday Yager League [arrive 2:30pm ~ 3-5:00pm] 

If you haven't curled before or are new to curling, Yager a great league for brand new curlers and those with up to 3 years of experience!  This adult league is for those that are just starting out and other relatively new players.  In Yager League you'll have experienced curlers on hand to work with you and help teach you the game while you play.  Sign-up as a single player or with a friend.  Brand new curlers (i.e., rookies), and other players with no league experience have the option of using a separate sign-up page (here) or registering for full club membership (here).  If you have not curled in a league before, registrants are encouraged (though not required) to attend at least one L2C session (here).  For people with more than 3 years of experience, please email [email protected] to help coach (and play) on a beginner team.  Lastly, keep an eye out for announcements about our pre-season dates to help you get into the swing (and CURL) of it! :) If you have any questions about this league or being a new player at the club, please contact Scott or Mitch.  

Sunday Sandlot League [6:00-8:00 PM]  *** REGISTRATION IS FULL! ***

Welcome to Sunday curling!  This is an OPEN league so anyone can join.  We'll have some new-ish and some intermediate players (i.e., so those with 1-to-5 years of experience).  Teams will either have a mix of experience levels or put into separate divisions based on experience.  Those that want to mix-in with other teams may register as "free agents".  A complete schedule will be posted on the club's calendar.  Sign up as a full team, with a friend or as an individual (we’ll find a team for you if you need).  Questions? Please contact Steve or Randee at [email protected].

Monday Schizler League [6:30-8:30 PM]  – Full Year Competition! 

Our Schizler League is our most competitive league and is open to all club members.  We play on Monday night ...all year-long / Fall and Winter sessions!  These Monday nights are a lot of fun and pretty competitive too!  Many teams will be pre-assembled by individuals who have curled in this league before, but even if you're not that experienced and this is the only night that works for you, let us know and we'll try to find a good team for you!  Note that, because of the extended/year-long season for this league, you must sign up at the club's Silver Membership level or higher.  For additional information send an email to Colby.

Tuesday Combined League [6:30-8:30 PM] 

...all experience levels! –

The goal of this league is to build teams with a mix of newer and more experienced curlers in order to foster education, competition, and fun. Curlers of all experience levels are welcome, including brand new curlers. Sign ups are on an individual basis. But, you can indicate who you wish to have as team members, and the league manager will make an effort to honor teammate requests, but guarantees cannot be made. If you sign up as an individual and do not have suggestions for teammates, you will be placed on a team to balance team experience level. This league is composed of two seasons: Fall and Winter, but the hope is that players will remain in the league the entire year. This is a very popular league, and spots fill up fast. To reiterate: Team member requests will be honored to the best of the league manager's ability, however, each person must register individually in order to get on a team, spots will not be held unless you are officially registered. If you have questions, please contact Chris.

Wednesday Mixed Doubles League [6:00-8:30 PM] – Full Year Competition! 

We are mixing it up this year by adding our Wednesday night mixed doubles league.  Teams will be made up of one male and one female player with no experience necessary.  Preferably you will put your team of two together before registration and list your partner at that time. However, if you don’t have a partner we will try to find one for you.  Mixed doubles gives you the opportunity to throw more rocks and be very involved in the strategy with your partner.  It is a fast paced and exciting way to play.  Keep in mind we only have room for 10 teams so don’t delay if you want to play!  Questions? - contact Marcus.

Thursdays - [starts 6:30 PM] – New Playing Format! 

This league will be a new format using the Triples curling rules.  As the name suggests, in triples curling curlers compete in teams of three.  All ends consist of six rocks thrown per team, with each player throwing two stones.  Find the complete rules here. This is an ideal league for new & returning curlers aimed at getting to know people and playing semi-competitively!  The league has a wide range of skill levels, beginners to experienced players, and is a great opportunity for new curlers to learn the game or for more experienced players to de-stress with a fun game of curling.  Players are grouped based on experience and then randomly selected on teams.  New teams are re-drawn every 3 weeks, giving players the opportunity to play and socialize with many different members during the season.  And don’t forget that after the curling is done we can all head to the local watering hole (One Well) to broomstack together. Questions?...contact Jay.

Fridays - [start time varies]  

This is open ice time as a benefit to our members (only), as well as when our members can bring in someone who is interested in curling to show them around.  Contact a current member and come check us out!  Friday nights is otherwise for practice, make-up games, or even pick-up games with enough interest.  This is not an official league (and may not happen every Friday) so there is no additional cost for current club members.  Questions?...contact [email protected].

SUNDAY MORNINGS - tentatively: Juniors @10AM, Littles @11AM

This is a great way to introduce your children to the great sport of curling.  Youth of all ages can join this intro-to-curling league designed for kids to learn, play, and have fun!  Our instructors will work with kids in groups and individually on basics of the game and help them learn how to sweep and deliver a rock, as well as basic etiquette of the game.  In the past, some of our older youth (i.e., juniors) have traveled to play in bonspiels with juniors from other curling clubs.  So whether this is you child's first year curling or have been on the ice before, it's going to be a lot of fun and we'd love to have you!  If you have any questions about this league or our Juniors program in general, please email kids or [email protected].
