Bantam/Junior Orphan Clinic
The TCA is hosting its annual Bantam/Junior Orphan Clinic on Sunday the 15th of April at The Oakville Curling Club. We will be starting at 6pm.
The Orphan Clinic is for any bantam or junior players or teams looking to complete their roster for next year. You might be a player looking for a team or team looking for a player or two. Some of you might be looking for a junior or bantam competitive team or a mixed team or even a just team to play in the TCA Junior League.
Come as an individual or a team and meet with others. We will be starting at 6pm and the first 45 minutes will be for the players to throw some rocks and meet other curlers. We will then organize some games for anybody who would like to play with some new curlers.
Any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to e-mail Hugh Murphy.
