Teaching Curling Strategy (Or Not) For Kids - Part 2

Send a textIn this episode of Coaching Kids Curling, Coach Glenn continues his discussion of teaching curling strategy to kids. After reviewing the basic lessons from last episode, he offers a different way to look at curling strategy. He also recommends some alternate game formats you can use with your kids. Finally, he urges coaches to "let the kids play," giving kids the chance to make their own strategic decisions instead of giving them the "right" answers.In this week's  “Coaching Tidbit,” we recommend a podcast that tackles a difficult but necessary subject - Making our curling community more inclusive.Links to the resources mentioned in the episode:“The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance” (2008) by Josh Waitzkinhttps://www.amazon.ca/Art-Learning-Journey-Optimal-Performance/dp/0743277465"Four Corners" Game (aka "Tic Tac Curling") from the Scottish Curling Web sitehttps://www.scottishcurling.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Drill_Tic_tac_curling_1.pdf"Triples" Game Rules from the Curling Quebec Web sitehttps://curling-quebec.qc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Triples-Curling-Canada-EN.pdf“Take This Hammer – Making Our Community More Inclusive” (EP 54: Rocks Across the Pond podcast)https://rocksacrossthepond.blubrry.net/Follow our podcast on Twitter: @kidscurlingGlenn Gabriel is an NCCP-certified curling coach who lives in Pickering, Ontario, Canada.
