U-15 RockFest

Rock your skills, elevate your game!

The U-15 RockFest, with its strategic blend of training and competition, is a one-of-a-kind program that offers young athletes the chance to develop their skills and compete in various singles and triples curling formats against peers from neighbouring provinces and territories.

The event aims to provide young curlers with the skills necessary to become well-rounded players in all strategy and technical development aspects. The goal is for young athletes to acquire the tools needed to achieve their maximum potential, whether they pursue a competitive path in the sport or play recreationally.

“We are delighted to see the growth of the age and stage-appropriate U-15 RockFest regional events,” said Curling Canada’s Manager of Youth Development & Programming, Dustin Mikush. “Together with all five host curling centres and host Member Associations, we are excited to deliver these impactful skill development events, and we know these young athletes will have a fun, memorable experience in 2026.”

Curlers can qualify for the event through their local Member Association by completing a variety of shots and input their results into Curling Canada’s app, “Singles Curling,” on iOS and Android.

The top curlers from each Member Association will receive an invitation to their regional event based on available quotas.

Curlers must be between ages 11 and 14 as of June 30, 2025.

For more information on how to qualify, please get in touch with your respective Member Association.

Youth curlers can find more information about provincial and territorial qualifying events, event quotas and app qualification deadlines later this fall by clicking here.

*In the Curling Canada app, curlers will identify themselves in the “gender” section of the event as either a boy or a girl.
