The possible next generation of Brad Gushues or Colleen Joneses head to the Liverpool Curling Club twice a week to work on their throwing, sweeping and hurrying hard.

The Liverpool junior curling program counts about 26 Queens County youth from five to 19 years old. 

Instructors teach the kids various skills during the hour-long sessions twice a week. The youth work toward certain benchmarks and gaining badges before going on to the next level. 

QCCR dropped in on a session on a recent Saturday to see what it was all about. Here are some of the sounds and people involved in the Liverpool junior curling program.
