Recently, 44 Grade 7 students from Lakewood Elementary School had the exciting opportunity to try curling at the Simcoe Curling Club, thanks to their teacher and club member, Angie Lane. The students participated in week one of a three-session program aimed at introducing them to the sport.
Angie Lane, who’s passionate about curling, wanted her students to experience the sport firsthand.
During the first session, students learned the fundamentals of curling, including how to deliver the stones and sweep the ice The experienced coaches at Simcoe Curling Club guided the students through each skill, ensuring they had fun while learning the ropes. The program will continue with more sessions, allowing students to refine their skills. Angie hopes some students will continue curling, possibly developing a lifelong interest in the sport.
Thanks to Angie Lane, the special events coordinator, and the 13 volunteers, these students got a memorable introduction to curling that will hopefully inspire them to try it again in the future.
