Membership
Leagues
For the dates and times at which different draws play, see the Leagues page. If you join a social draw, you will be assigned to a team by the drawmaster and team composition will be shuffled several times throughout the season so that you will have the opportunity to play with many different club members. Curlers enroll in competitive draws as teams and team composition remains the same throughout the season. Curlers from ages 7 to 19 years, please see the Junior Curling page. Curlers in the Kitchener-Waterloo Hi-Tech League do not have to be members of the club.
