Being the best brusher is more than just having the ‘perfect’ technique. Brushing is a skill that requires hours of practice and observation.

​This practice plan was put together to help you understand:

• What is the right brushing position for your body?
• What does the footwork look like between open and closed?
• How do you prepare a proper on ice brushing practice?
• What exercises can you do to support your wish to improve your brushing?
• How do you know when to sweep? How can you become a smarter sweeper?

​It's not just an educational opportunity teaching you the 'why' behind each of my techniques, but is also a step-by-step guide for you to follow to help you make long lasting changes in your position, technique and sweeping ability.

​

The Better Brushing Practice Plan includes 3 phases of on and off ice activities to help you progressively gain strength, comfort and understanding to become a better brusher.

​What the Better Brushing Practice Plan provides:

• 6x on ice practice plans to help you become a better brusher; focusing on both technique and how to be a smart sweeper
• 6x small off ice workouts that can be completed in season to support the movement and strength needs of optimal brushing position

Who is it for? (EVERYONE)

• Beginner curlers looking to learn how to sweep; get a full kickstart over your fellow learn to curlers!
• Intermediate curlers looking to take their brushing to the next level and solidify their practice plan
• Elite curlers looking to improve their brushing foundation and find their edge over the competition.

 

How does it work?

• The program is organized into 3 phases. Each phase has a purpose to help you gain strength, confidence and understanding of not only how to sweep, but WHEN to sweep.
• At the end of each phase you will find keys to tell when you are ready to progress to the next phase

All games officially begin at the scheduled start time, regardless of when the first rock is thrown. A game that begins late due to the late arrival of any players – including the number of players necessary to constitute a team – is still bound by the normal bell rule. Games should begin on time if three players of a team are present. The sheet is ready for play when the score from the previous game is taken down.

Exception: If the ice is not ready for you to begin play on time due to a delay in preparing the ice, the two skips shall calculate 1 hour and 35 minutes from the actual time the ice was made available and agree upon that time as the “bell” time for their game, notifying their vices accordingly. In the absence of such agreement, the normally-scheduled bell time will apply.
