As parents start to think about what to do for their children once school is done each day, the Hay River Curling Club has provided an option.

And itSA国际影视传媒檚 at the best price imaginable.

The club is offering youth from the town, KatlSA国际影视传媒檕deeche First Nation and Enterprise a chance to curl for free in its after school program this season. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 been made free courtesy of a partnership with Hay River Disposals, according to a news release from the club last week.

SA国际影视传媒淭he Hay River Curling Club recognizes the importance of recreation during impactful times,SA国际影视传媒� stated Davida Delorey, the clubSA国际影视传媒檚 president. SA国际影视传媒淭he club invites all Hay River, Enterprise, and KSA国际影视传媒檃tlSA国际影视传媒檕deeche area youth to come out and try curling this season on us.SA国际影视传媒�

The normal cost for youth curlers would be $100 for the season.

Glenn Smith, a director at the curling club, said the after school program is open to any youth between the ages of six through 16 and thereSA国际影视传媒檚 no minimum skill level required to take part.

SA国际影视传媒淭he curling club is hopeful that we will see a strong uptake in youth participation through the removal of fees,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

The program is scheduled to start Oct. 30, he added, and they will continue every Monday and Thursday until March 2024.

Smith also said the club will provide all the necessary equipment SA国际影视传媒� the only thing the participants are required to bring are a clean pair of shoes SA国际影视传媒� and there will be coaches on the ice to lead every session.

SA国际影视传媒淭he coaches use an instructional program for the most part,SA国际影视传媒� said Smith. SA国际影视传媒淚f there are enough curlers (for each session), games can occur.SA国际影视传媒�

If curlers have their own equipment, theySA国际影视传媒檙e welcome to bring it, but one thing they must have is a helmet. All youth curlers are required to wear one on the ice at all times as itSA国际影视传媒檚 a club rule.

Smith said this will most likely be a single-season initiative, but it will be evaluated once the season is done to see if it can continue.
