Junior Curling

The BCC Junior Program continues its reimbursement program for certain fees.

Junior curlers are eligible for the following:

• A percentage of dues reimbursement for those who paid regular curling club membership dues.
• Reimbursement of playdowns for the Nationals entry fee at cost.
• Reimbursement for out-of-town bonspiels, camps, and training conferences (excluding Monday junior group trips and State playdowns.)
• Reimbursement of a percentage of team uniform expenses for junior curlers who participate in playdowns for Nationals events.

Expectations: To be eligible for reimbursements the Junior Committee expects all junior curlers and/or their parents to volunteer 4 hours of work minimum at the club and/or at the club’s Junior event fundraiser. A junior curler must reside in the Bemidji area and curl regularly at the Bemidji Curling Club and not be funded by another club or organization (e.g. USCA) to be eligible. However, prior Bemidji junior curlers who no longer reside in the Bemidji area may be eligible if they curl on a competitive Bemidji team with a Bemidji skip and complete the volunteer work. All applications will be reviewed for approval by and at the discretion of the Junior Board. Reimbursement amounts are not guaranteed and are dependent on the fund balance.

Forms are available at the club, or you can download them here:

Beginners, intermediate and avid curlers in 6th to 12th grade can participate in the Monday After School Curling Program from 3:45 to 5:15. Open to boys and girls, Juniors will get instruction and competition suited to their level of play. For those with interest, we intend to host competitions against other out-of-town programs and will make at least one trip to an out-of-town competition. The program usually begins the first Monday in December and runs every Monday from 3:45-5:15 pm through the middle of March. Register in person at the Bemidji Community Education office, or at www.bemidjicommunityed.com. The fee is listed on their site.

*Juniors who are signed up as club members do not need to sign up again for this class.
