The weekend Mixed Section is a fantastic, fun section at the Leaside Curling Club. There are a total of eight flights of eight teams – 256 players on 64 teams. With a league of this size, there is a level of curling that suits everyone. We have seasoned, competitive curlers to new beginners and everything in between.

Generally the Mixed Section fills quickly, and often there is a waiting list to join the league. You can sign-up as an individual, pair or full team. Please register early if you are new to the Mixed Section or are a returning member.

The weekend Mixed Sections alternates games between Friday @ 6:45 pm; Friday at 9:00 pm; Sunday at 12:30 pm; and Sunday at 2:45 pm. A team is comprised of two men and two women, who must alternate positions.

Teams are allocated to one of 8 flights, based on the level of competition. At the completion of each draw (a draw consists of 7 games), teams change flights depending on performance. All teams advance to a playoff round and are guaranteed two games in the playoffs.

The Sunday Pizza league is a fun league that is ideal for newcomers to the sport, for curlers looking to try a new role, or for people looking for a more relaxed schedule. Teams are comprised of four players of any gender. The league plays 14 games a year, from October to March/April, with no playoffs. Games are played at 5:45 pm on Sunday afternoons.  There are also two clinics put on by the section, or optional "tag" draws that are just a fun time to mix it up on the ice. Periodically throughout the year, games end with a pizza dinner provided by the section. Other potluck snacks, including cookies, salads, or other sides are highly encouraged! It is a great way to bond with the other team after stepping off the ice.

The Sunday Pizza league only accepts 8 teams per year (with returning teams having first priority for spots in the league), and as such tends to fill up quickly.

The Sunday Open is a beginner to semi-competitive league that can accommodate 24 teams. Each team is assigned to one of three flights (A, B & C), which contain eight teams each. Every team plays up to 24 games per season, which include three, seven-game round robins (“draws”) and three playoff games. Teams may move up or down a flight based upon their won-lost records. This enables teams to find their appropriate skill level so that games remain both competitive and fun. The third and final week of playoffs concludes with an end of season celebration where players can eat, drink and socialize while we award prizes to our top teams.

Games are played at 5:45 pm (4 sheets) / 8:00 pm each week (8 sheets).

The Monday Skins league is an open league (ie. teams can be any combination of men and women). Games in this league alternate between 6:45 pm and 9:00 pm every Monday evening. You can enter as a full or partial team, or as an individual.

Each week, teams play for the 15 skins which are up for grabs in the game. In order to win the skins in any end, the team with hammer has to score two or more points, or the team without hammer must steal. If an end is blanked or the team with hammer only scores a single point, the available skins are carried forward to the following end. Games are 6 ends in length, with 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, and 4 skins available in respective ends. In the event there are skins still to be won after the sixth end of play, one player per team will draw to the button, with the team closest to the button winning the remaining skins.

Wednesdays, 9:30 a.m. - individual entry only; both men and women 

If you are interested in playing skins on Wednesday mornings, then read on to learn more about how our league works.

• Games start at 9:30 am and must finish no later than 11:45 am.
• Each game will consist of 7 ends, with scoring in the following way: 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3 = 15.
• If there is a carry-over on the last end, one member of each team will draw to the button. If a second draw to the button is necessary, any member of the team can deliver it.
• Spares will be drawn from the list of spares and from the general membership of the club. A spare must play in the position for which he/she is sparing.
• Points will be assigned individually to determine the overall champion in each position. 
• Points are awarded to curlers whether they are actually playing, or off due to vacations, illness etc. Spares are not awarded points.
• New teams will be created for each draw. Each draw will be 4 games.
• Each player throws in the order of his/her position.
• With our games starting at 9:30 a.m., we have 2 hours and 15 minutes to play. If the sixth or seventh end cannot be finished within this time frame, do not start that end. One team member shall draw to the button for the remaining points.
• A small levy will be charged to each skins participant which will be used for prizes and a season-end luncheon. In addition, there will be a small charge for post-game coffee service.

Are you wanting to curl but not able to commit to 20+ weeks of curling? Are weekdays just not an option for you? Then you may want to consider our "Super 7 Saturday Starter Series", a program aimed at curlers with 5 or fewer years of curling experience.  Note: each team may have one player with more than 5 years' experience, but that player must throw lead rocks.

The program will be offered on Saturday mornings. Each session will begin with a 15-minute off-ice educational session in the lounge at 9:40 am. Games will be played from 10 am - noon (with one exception) on seven separate dates in the fall of 2025.

Here is all you need to know about our Super 7 Saturday Starter Series!

• Season will conclude with luncheon after the final game

The Day Women’s section of the Leaside Curling Club welcomes women of all ages and skill levels to join us in our social and competitive leagues. Our section is the largest day women’s section in the GTA and that allows us to provide curling at a variety of competitive levels. Whether you are new to the sport or experienced, we offer something to meet your needs. Our variety of leagues allow curlers to play up to four times a week on a regular basis. If you don’t want to commit to more than one day, you can sign up to spare on the other days to get occasional extra days of play.

Our individual entry leagues provide a relaxed and fun environment where curlers will play on a number of different teams during the season.

Our team entry league allows curlers to play together all season against other teams of similar skill level based on performance (win/loss record) as the season progresses.

We also offer new curler and refresher clinics, and internal bonspiel events to help you develop your skills and experience the fun, camaraderie and competitive nature of the sport.

A brief description of each league is provided below,

1. Individual Entry Leagues

Monday afternoon - Play begins at 12:55 pm and ends no later than 3:10 pm.
Tuesday morning - Play begins at 9:45 am and ends no later than noon.
Tuesday afternoon - Play begins at 12:55 pm and ends no later than 3:10 pm.

Curlers are placed on teams based on their desired position. You may be asked to play a different position as the number of entries requires. Every effort is made to balance teams.

There are 3 draws over the course of the season. You will be placed on a different team each draw. Prizes are awarded to the top teams each draw.

When you are not able to play, it is your responsibility to find a replacement to play in your absence. Most of the Women’s leagues have a Spare Coordinator, who will arrange a spare for you.  Requesting spares is done online.

2. Thursday Team Entry League

This is a league where you play with the same team all season. Games are played at two draw times and play will alternate from week to week:

Morning games begin at 9:45 am and end no later than noon.

Afternoon games begin at 12:55 pm and end no later than 3:10 pm.

Teams are divided into flights and placement is based on their performance in the previous draw. There are a number of round robin draws over the course of the season. Teams move between flights at the end of each draw based on their round robin performance. The number of flights and draws depends on the number of teams entered. New teams are placed in the bottom flight to start the season.

Curlers usually enter as a team. Teams require a minimum of four members (5 person teams are allowed).

New to the league, looking for new players or looking for a new team? If you have less than four members, the league conveners will help you find appropriate team members (teams require 3 members to start the season). If you are looking to join a team, the league conveners will attempt to place you on a team. Placement on a team is not guaranteed.

When not able to play, it is your responsibility to inform your skip and to find a spare to play in your absence.

The Women’s Evening league is open to females and those who identify as female. In this multi-generational league, membership spans from university students, to working professionals, and retired people. Members’ curling abilities include those who are new to the game and those who’ve played for years. Members in this league share an interest in curling, and social fellowship both on and off the ice. Some members curl just to have fun, while others prefer more competitive play.

The season for this league runs from September through April, with a break over Christmas and in the Spring. Games are played Wednesday evenings, with game start-times alternating between 6:45 and 9:00 PM.
