| Drills & Coaching Aids |
Drills
Listed below is a range of standardised drills. There are more being compiled and it is envisaged that this will be an ongoing project and more drills will be added.
Please note some drills have acknowledged sources while other drills and coaching aids are attributed to the RCCC. When using any Drills or Coaching Aids, all acknowledgments and attributes should be continued.
If there are any drills that you currently use, which are not listed, or you use variations which work well, we would welcome your input. Please forward any relevant suggestions, ideas or feedback to Lynne Robertson (EMAIL).
Purpose
Each drill has been designed with a specific purpose or skill to enhance the curlers' peformance.
Number of players
Depending on class or club size, some drills may not be suitable as they require more participants than available.
Difficulty Level
The drills are listed in order of difficulty. The difficulty level, or star rating, is on scale of one to five where one is the easiest and five the most difficult.
It should be noted that a curler's range of ability, in certain areas of technique, may require different level drills. eg a curler's delivery after some coaching may change in technique, a low level weight control drill would be required until new delivery is comfortable.
