Curl BC BC Skill Awards

The BC Skill Awards Program is a five (5) level series of tests of increasing skill level difficulty, referred to as Red (Novice), Blue (Junior), Bronze (Intermediate), Silver (Intermediate) and Gold (Advanced). Crests will be awarded for successful completion of each level.

All skills in the program are to be executed using the instructional methods of delivery and sweeping techniques designed by the Technical Division of the Canadian Curling Association.

The program is open to all junior-aged curlers (under 20 yrs of age) who belong to a youth program administered by a curling club which is affiliated with Curl BC. The co-ordinators of these youth programs may use the Skill Awards Program as part of their junior development program.

Curling Clubs are responsible for the scheduling and administration of tests. Curling clubs are cautioned to ensure that a qualified examiner conducts the on-ice test, and marks the off-ice quiz. Curl BC recommends that each Examiner have no more than six curlers at a time.

After each test, Examiners should complete the student’s forms. Then, the Skill Awards Report Form should be filled in. (Note that only forms properly filled in, with a qualified tester listed, will be processed.) Once the club is ready to order crests, the Skills Awards Report Form should be sent to the Curl BC office at:
