COACHING
The last scheduled coaching day on the calendar is July 26. This does not mean that we are abandoning you to your own devices. Coaching for anyone is always available. You can contact the coaches through the website under player development. If you want help from a specific coach, note that in your request. It is not an inconvenience. We enjoy coaching and helping whenever and wherever we can. Novices can also contact their mentor. Failing all the above, my phone number and email is in the Member Directory. Didn’t get a directory? We’ll fix that, too.
At some point, everyone struggles with something, especially as our bodies stop doing what they have always done before and it gets frustrating. Coaching can help find solutions to these issues.

• The visitor writes name, skill level (L – Lead/Second; T – Third; S – Skip) and club identifier (P or QB if needed) on Tag and hands it back to draw-master.
• The Draw will occur normally with the draw-master ensuring a good mix of guests and locals.
• Visiting skips may be offered skip positions at the discretion of the draw-master.

1:00 pm Coaching Clinic – click for details
Category
We will be holding a coaching clinic on July 14 at 1:00.
The clinic is for all members of all skills. We will be discussing the role of the ‘third’ or vice skip. Topics discussed, but not limited to, will be the role and duties of the vice, what and how to communicate with your skip, making decisions on who is shot, etc. We will then go outside to discuss what could be played with the various sample heads that will be set up. You will not need any equipment. Bring any questions you may have.
Sign up below or there is a sign up sheet at the club on the coaching bulletin board (the first one as you come into the sunroom).
