Leagues
Something for players at every level
Leagues are the heart of our club. Not only are leagues key to the experience of curling and learning the game, they’re also a critical way to support the financial strength and sustainability of the club. Most leagues are round-robin, so you get to play lots of other teams and meet other club members. After each game, it’s traditional to broomstack with your opposing team, which is curling-speak for sharing a post-game drink and snack. So don’t delay — find your next leagues and get on the ice!
A note for new curlers: We welcome all-levels! No teammate? That's okay! All you need to join a league is to have completed a Learn to Curl or Curling 101 Lessons. If you have any questions about which league is right for you, we’re here to help! Reach out to us with any questions or requests for future leagues.
Registration: Registration is open to members of SFBACC. With the exception of Learner's League, club membership is required. Not a member yet?

General registration opens on March 19 for all members.
