Registration for the 2011-2012 season is open! There are still spots available
All games are on most Saturdays from October 1 to March 17. The ice schedule is here.
We have spots this season for 120 full-time memberships.
Please note that we have 3 categories of League members: Regular Full-time League Members, Permanent Spares, and Social Members. See below for a full description of these categories.
Registrations are being accepted by order of postmark date so send in the registration form with your full fee, and the signed waiver form for all participants. The address is on the registration form. Don’t delay. Do it now!
The first 15 new members and the first 15 returning members each receive a 10 year anniversary pin*. This pin will be a collector’s item. Only a limited number have been made and it’s definitely one you’ll want to have! If you’re lucky enough to get it, you’ll receive it in January 2012. For you new curlers, collecting and trading curling pins with other clubs at bonspiels (tournaments) is a tradition. Some curlers amass hundreds of pins over a lifetime of curling. But don’t trade this baby away. It’s a keeper!!!
New curlers: The registration form asks you to guess your slider size. Don’t worry too much about estimating the correct size. Just do your best. We’ll fix you up when you arrive. You can read about slider sizes here.
If you have any questions, please email membership@pittsburghcurlingclub.com
* Members of the Board don’t qualify for the 10th Anniversary pin offer.
Membership Categories
There are a three categories of league members: Full-time League Member, Permanent Spare, and Social Member.
Full-time League Member
Full-time league members are assigned to a team and play weekly. It is expected that you’ll make almost ALL of your games. Advantages include: Guaranteed scheduled weekly matches, playing with the same people weekly building a team that works well together. Also – if your team wins the club championship – you’re on the trophy!
Permanent Spare
You’re a full-time club member and you pay the full member rate. You email scheduling any week you’d like to play. You pick a time slot that you’d like to play in. Odds are VERY good you’ll get to play any time you ask – we always need spares!
Advantages: meet LOTS of people and play on various teams with different skills.
Very flexible! If you can’t play one weekend – no worries! If you want to play most weekends – we can probably fit you in!
If you can only play early shift or late shift – you can request those specific matches!
Note that permanent spares will play in the lead position, or sometimes in the second position, only.
Social Member
Supporters of the club and curling fans can join as Social Members for $10 for the season. You aren’t entitled to curl, but you can attend all social functions, including our annual Steel Spiel. You don’t need to sign a waiver since you won’t be on the ice. (Although you certainly can sign a waiver and come to take embarassing photos of friends and family!)
