Key principles to keep in mind:
- Non-team entry leagues are filled on a first come, first served basis;
- Registrations are not complete until fully paid, however, for this year, registrations will be prioritized by the date of registration;
- As of August 31st, 2020 the “Club Fee” will increase from $205 to $235; ONLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT REGISTERED BEFORE AUG 30, 2020
- Team entries and team participants must be registered by August 31st. Capacity restrictions imposed by Government guidelines may prevent us from guaranteeing placement in your respective leagues, so please register early.
Daytime Senior – half season is from October to December or January to April. Placement into a fall time-slot will be wait-listed until September 1. Placement into a winter time-slot is dependent upon availability.
5-person Team Entry – to facilitate busy schedules, many teams are turning to a 5-person team structure. In these instances, YCC will only collect leagues fees from 4 members. Once 5 members are registered and paid, a refund equivalent to the league fee will be provided to the skip to be distributed amongst the team.
Flex League – Flex League is for individuals who cannot commit to a weekly schedule. It allows participants to choose 5 dates from a minimum of 10 available time slots offered on Saturday evenings. Specific dates will be posted on the club calendar when when we have a better indication of the number of curlers we have this season. Participation in this league also includes unlimited sparing on Sunday Development League. Registration for new members opens August 1, 2020.
Waiver – This waiver underwent considerable changes that you need to thoroughly review. A Declaration of Compliance for COVID-19 is also included in the waiver. For those under the age of 18, there is an Informed Consent and Assumption of Risk Document that must be signed by the parent or guardian.
Rowan’s Law – Concussion Safety – This Act, passed by the Ontario Government earlier this year, imposes various requirements on sports organizations in connection with concussion protocol and amateur sports. Members are responsible for understanding and agreeing to the protocols detailed under this act. Specifics, as it pertains to YCC are provided on the 2020-2021 Membership signup (Step 5 – Agree to Club Liability Releases) page which we encourage you to read and agree to as part of your registration process.
Sparing – add your name to the “My Subbing Availability” in the Member's Home drop-down panel above.
Volunteering – also have a look at the “My Volunteer Availability” in the Member's Home drop-down panel. Most of the club activities that go into making YCC a success are the result of volunteers from the membership. Your support is always greatly appreciated.
New Members Wanted – the success of YCC is dependent on the addition of new members. The best way to recruit is through the existing membership and to this end we ask all members to encourage friends and family to try the sport and join YCC.
To help encourage the enrollment of new members, YCC is holding a number of Try Curling! events which will be listed on the YCC events page. The intention of this program is to encourage participants to come out and try the sport, with the goal to become a member in the future. Please do your part and spread the word!
