Curl BC is now accepting team applications for the 2021/2022 High Performance Program.

This year all teams will register for the High Performance and Development Program and then, once all teams are registered, some teams will be eligible to move on to the Next Generation Pathway programs that are available.

Modified programs for Mixed Doubles and U SPORTS/CCAA teams will be included.

Applications for the 2021/22 HP Program must be received by May 15, 2021. These documents can be found on Curl BC’s High Performance Program Page.

Involvement in the High Performance Program gives athletes who want podium success the tools to achieve their goals.

Curl BC High Performance Director Melissa Soligo said: “We’re excited to work with the teams who want to invest in themselves. If you and your teammates want to achieve your goals over the next year, the 2021-2022 High Performance Program is a vital resource for you.”

Timeline:

May 15 – All athletes must register for the High Performance and Development Program.
