Guided Practice for Beginners - Sweeping and Communication

These guided practices are designed for curlers who have completed at least some level of introductory instruction and want to continue their curling journey but are unsure about where to go next, as well as curlers in their first or second league who want to reinforce basic skills and team concepts.

Sweeping and Communication guided practice includes:

• Review good sweeping technique, including broom placement and putting weight on the broom
• Review team communication between sweepers and skip. Reinforce importance of sweepers calling out weights at least three times per throw
• Practice sweeping drills, including judgement of weights
• Practice throwing stones and sweeping, including getting rocks to desired spot. Focus on guards and draws, with instructor providing feedback

Practices are led by intermediate-level instructors with the skills necessary to succeed in early leagues, but whose memories of being a new curler are fresh in mind. 

The practice will start with a refresher on this week’s topic followed by drills and a scrimmage consisting of throwing stones, sweeping, and calling shots in real game situations. All practice is on-ice; there is no classroom time.
