Our Curling Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CurlON launched \u201cHit Draw Tap\u201d in the 2015-2016 season. It was an instant success \u2013 over 450 kids participated in the first year! Hit Draw Tap is modeled after the NFL\u2019s Punt Kick Pass or Master\u2019s Golf \u2013 Drive, Chip, Putt. Since then the event has spread across Canada with competitions being held in Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Northern Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018-2019, Curling Canada launched Hit Draw Tap as a national program.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hit Draw Tap or \u201cHDT,\u201d as we like to call it, is a youth skills competition where kids age 6-13 compete as individuals. HDT will group kids into three different age categories, and perform three different shots \u2013 a \u201cHit,\u201d a \u201cDraw\u201d and a \u201cTap.\u201d The difficulty of the skills are modified based on the age of the child. Each province\/territory will run their HDT competitions a little differently \u2013 parents and participants should check with their Member Association\u2019s website<\/a> for event details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
