Level 1 Instructor Clinic

The SFBACC is pleased to announce a USCA Level 1 Instructor Clinic on Thursday September 2, at 7PM in Fremont. The SFBACC has undergone alot of growth this year, and we are still getting requests for more Learn to Curl clinics, Corporate Events and Lessons for both adults and youths. Many of our new curlers want to help others experience the joy of the sport, but may feel they do not have the skills needed, or feel they are not qualified to teach. This clinic is designed to help all curlers regardless of age or experience to become qualified to teach. Clinic is $35. Only 20 spots available and pre-registration is required.

To SFBACC members,

As you know, the USCA has been holding town hall meetings to explain the High Performance Plan (HPP) that was created in 2008 and used last year to help prepare our Olympic teams. These meetings also cover the ongoing process to revise that plan, what it could mean for current and future athletes and how it relates to our funding from the US Olympic Committee.
