Richmond Curling Club offers a variety of leagues to give everyone a chance to get on the ice and curl.
Club Leagues include:
* Men’s
* Women’s
* Mixed
* Junior
* Drop-In
* Beginner/Novice
* Stick
Curlers are encouraged to either recommend or start a new league the club currently does not offer.
Other Leagues include Commercial Leagues:
* Mixed (Can be teams of Men, Women, or a combination of genders, these teams are formed by individuals)
* Social (teams are formed by the organizers, so that curlers/players meet new individuals each year)
Monday - Drop-In Stick League - 10:00 AM
The Drop-In Stick League is great for curlers who have difficulty getting in and out of the hack might want to give stick curling a try! It's a fun, quick paced game that allows curlers to remain active in a sport they enjoy.
- Each team is comprised of two curlers which makes it easier to form and co-ordinate teams.
- Each stone must be delivered by a curling stick from a standing or seated (wheelchair) position.
- All games are 6 ends. In the event of a tie, an extra end is played with each player delivering 3 stones (skips and throwers exchange ends at the midpoint of an extra end).
- One member of each team stays at each end of the ice; one acting as skip and the other as thrower. This speeds up the game as there is less movement up and down the ice and responsibilities are equally shared by the two team members.
- The two throwing curlers alternately deliver six stones per end, while their team mates skip. The roles are reversed in the next end.
- Sweeping is not allowed between the hog lines. This allows curlers with physical limitations that would prevent them from brushing to continue in the sport.
- The first three stones thrown in an end may not be removed from play before delivery of the fourth stone. If that occurs, the fourth stone is removed and all other stones are returned to their original position.

Tuesday - Day Ladies - 9:30 AM
This is a social club league for women of all ages and skill levels. Each player signs up for an individual position, and then names are randomly drawn to form teams.
This league organizes a number of luncheons, and two bonspiels (one at Christmas time and one at the end of the season.) The themes are always fun and so is the curling!
