Leagues

The Granite Curling Club offers many leagues that cater to a wide range of skill levels and competitive interests. With so many choices, there's sure to be a league that's just right for you! Don't forget that curling is a social activity as well! After each game, teams head upstairs to chat, quench their thirst, and (depending on the league) eat.

Leagues are divided into two types: Manager's Choice and Skip's Choice. For Manager's Choice leagues, curlers sign up as couples or individuals and the league manager puts them together into balanced teams based on skill levels and experience. For Skip's Choice leagues, curlers form a team and sign up as a team. If you're new to curling, you want to start with a Manager's Choice league.

In the list below, multiple game times mean you play at one of the times listed depending on the week. Schedules are available prior to the start of league play, and most leagues have a substitute roster in case you need to miss a game.

See the fees for membership and leagues here.

2024-2025 Sunday Novice
12:00pm Sep 22 2024 to Mar 30 2025 Yes

This casual, drop-in league is a place to learn the sport of curling. The sessions focus on skill development for novice curlers. Those with less than three years of experience or who are seeking instruction or feedback on fundamentals will benefit the most. The first half of each session is spent on drills for specific skills, and the second half is spent on pick-up games. Teams change week-by-week and you can try different positions including practicing as skip. The cost of this league is included in your membership. This league only meets on certain Sundays and the time varies in the few Spring sessions, so check the club calendar. Ask the league managers if you have questions about whether this is right for you!

2024-2025 Monday Night
6:30pm, 8:30pm Sep 23 2024 to Mar 31 2025 No

Monday Night League is a great way to start your week! It's a very social league that has both new and experienced curlers. Teams are formed by the league managers to create balanced competition across the league. Requests to play with one other person can usually be honored. Teams are mixed up halfway through the season. Teams take turns bringing in dinner for the league.

If you are a 5&U team planning to compete regionally/nationally, we encourage you to consider the Sunday Skip's Semi-Competitive league. If you still want to play together on Mondays, please contact the league managers directly for consideration. We will require that you have a full team, and each member is subject to the league rules regarding registration and over subscription.

5:00pm Sep 24 2024 to Apr 1 2025 Yes

Tuesday Supper League is a fun social league where curling teams are mixed up week by week - but the important thing is that everyone is on a consistent Supper team! It's an excellent league for new curlers, since you'll get to play with a lot of different people who can each teach you something new about the game. Supper teams take turns making meals for the league and eat while watching the Super League which happens right after their league time. This league might just be the most fun league at Granite!

2024-2025 Wednesday Women's
7:00pm, 9:00pm Sep 25 2024 to Apr 2 2025 No

Wednesday Night Women’s League is a fun, hybrid league for women-identifying curlers who are interested in developing their skills, socializing, and playing some great games. In honor of the spirit of curling and the goal of establishing a welcoming environment for all, players can join as part of a team (Skip's Choice pool), or individually (Manager's Choice pool). Teams from both pools will play each other throughout the season. The season will end with playoffs. This league does not do meals, but teams are encouraged to bring snacks to share for post-game socializing with their opponents.

NOTE: Teams that intend to join as Skip's Choice must have their full team signed up by the time registration closes. At that time, teams without a full roster will be added to the Manager's Choice pool, and we cannot guarantee more than two players will be placed on a team together. Registrants will be sent a survey by league managers to declare their team preferences.

We have closed registration as we have hit an even number. If you missed your chance to join the league, please email shannon.brown@curlingseattle.org and kaitie.kovach@curlingseattle.org. We can accommodate full teams for the Skip's Choice division and might be able to accommodate individuals in batches of 4 for the Manager's Choice division.
