Curling is one of many sports included in the BC Winter Games to provide our U16 youth athletes with an opportunity to experience  multi-sport competition.

Curl BC will support the development of athletes and coaches leading up to and during the event. All athletes, team coach(es), adult supervisors (if applicable), are required to stay in BC Winter Games accommodation for the entirety of the Trail-Rossland 2026 BC Winter Games

Age Eligibility

Age: Between 13 and 15 years of age as of June 30, 2025. Teams may have 1 underage athlete without written approval and more with written approval from the Curl BC Provincial Advisor.

Athletes who qualified for a U18 and/or a U21 Curling Provincial Championship, in a previous season, and reach the podium are ineligible to attend the BC Winter Games.

Age eligible athletes beyond this 2026 BC Winter Games cycle will be eligible to play in only one BC Winter Games for curling. Underage athletes approved to play in the 2026 BC Winter Games will be exempt of this new rule and will still be eligible for the 2028 BC Winter Games.
