| TEAMS WANTED |
| |
| The Ontario Curling Association is inviting curling teams to participate in an NCCP Level 3 Technical Course to be held at the Highland Country Club (London), Saturday, Oct 4, 2008. |
| |
| Teams may be bantam, junior or open age level and must be competing at least at the zone or higher level. Your own coach should be willing to accompany you for the day. |
| |
| The NCCP Level 3 Course is a three-day course but teams are brought in for the one day so the Level 3 coaches can have real teams to work with. The teams will be working on ice with their new "coach", will have your delivery and brushing skills analyzed using the V1 Home video/laptop method, play a game under specific conditions, learn new practice techniques, and will also experience in-class strategy, mental preparation, team dynamics, etc. There is no cost to the teams. You must get to the club for 9:00 AM and be prepared to stay all day until 5:00 PM. Lunch will be available for purchase. |
| |
| This is a wonderful opportunity for all teams to gain some inside coaching knowledge and experience. However there is only a limited number of teams needed and they will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis. If interested call Linda Corcoran at the OCA, 905-831-3699 or toll free 1-866-800-7293. |
