Rock your skills, elevate your game!

The U-15 RockFest, with its strategic blend of training and competition, is a fun one-of-a-kind event that offers young athletes the chance to develop their skills and compete in various skills and triples curling formats against peers from neighbouring provinces and territories.

The events aim to provide young curlers with the skills necessary to develop in all aspects of strategy and technical development. The goal is to help young athletes acquire the tools to reach their maximum potential, whether on a competitive path or playing recreationally. 

“The continued collaboration across the country is what strengthens and drives the success of our U-15 RockFest Regional events and Provinces and Territories U-15 RockFest Qualifiers each season,” said Curling Canada’s Manager of Youth Development & Programming, Dustin Mikush. “For 2027, we are grateful to partner once again with dedicated host curling centres and Member Associations to provide meaningful, youth development events where young athletes can learn, compete, and connect.”

Athletes can qualify for the event through their local Member Association by completing a variety of shots and input their results into Curling Canada’s app, “Skills Curling,” on iOS and Android.

The top curlers from each Member Association will receive an invitation to their regional event based on available quotas.

Curlers under 15 years of age as of Dec. 31, 2026, are eligible.

Date of birth: Jan. 1, 2012 or later.

Minimum age: Curlers must be 11 years of age as of Dec. 31, 2026 (born in 2015, 2014, 2013, or 2012).

For more information on how to qualify, please get in touch with your respective Member Association.
