Stick Delivery – seated and standing (For Coaches)

This workshop has been created to cover techniques in stick curling for
a range of curlers who may have mobility issues. Use of a delivery stick
can significantly extend the length of time a curler can play and enables
people to stay active in later years or after surgery/injury. Wheelchair
curling has increased in popularity over the years with Paralympic
exposure.

Some key themes that will be covered are specific warm up and cool
down exercises for wheelchair users and those with restricted mobility/
balance, delivery options for seated and standing, safety, knowledge of
wheelchair curling specific issues and a practical on ice element.

This course is suitable for coaches with no experience of
stick delivery, as well as those who want to brush up on some areas.
Coaches should hold at least a Level 1 qualification. Those who wish to
assist in sessions are encouraged to go on a Ready, Steady, Curl course.
