This league (formerly Sandlot) is open to all members and skill levels! We will be featuring two divisions where teams can be promoted or relegated based on their performance (win/loss record). Experienced curlers will be mixed with newer curlers to promote fair play, competition, and FUN, so any team has a chance to go for the gold!
Members may sign up as individuals/free agents and be placed on a team. You can also choose one person as a teammate to create a twosome. We also allow the creation of full teams with exceptions and approval by the league manager.
ECKSTRAND
Monday Eckstrand League [6:30-9:00 PM] – Full Year of Competition!
League Manager - Colby Novar
The Eckstrand League is our most competitive league. It's open to all club members and is named after one of our founding members Garnet Eckstrand. Garnet loved friendly competition on the ice and telling stories off the ice.
The league is designed for entire teams to register. Returning club members can reach out on Slack to find team members. If you are new to the club please contact the League Manager via email and we will try to get you on a team.
BLACKJACK
Tuesday Blackjack League [6:30-9:00 PM] - Fall and Winter sessions
League Manager - Chris Kurby
Our most popular league during the week, Blackjack is open to curlers of all skill levels. The goal of this league is to build teams with a mix of experience levels in order to foster education, competition, and fun. All experience levels are welcome, including brand new curlers.
Members can register as individuals and be placed on team by the league manager, or register as a team by designating who they wish to have as teammates. We have some newly created teams join every season, but other teams return the same members as previous years. Team member requests will be accommodated as much as possible by the league manager, but teams must fulfill the spirit of this league, which is to mix experience levels. This is both a competitive and social league – just about every team stays after their match to broomstack, so grab your pals and come play Tuesday nights!
MIXED DOUBLES
Wednesday Mixed Doubles League [6:30-8:30 PM] – Full Year Competition!
League Manager - Maren Tillman
The Wednesday night mixed-doubles league consists of teams will be made up of one male and one female player. No experience necessary. You can register as a team (preferred) or as an individual. If you don’t have a partner we will try to find one for you.
Mixed doubles gives you the opportunity to throw more rocks and be very involved in the strategy with your partner. It is a fast paced and exciting way to play.
Registation Guidelines:
- Registration is capped at 10 teams, so don’t delay registration if you want to play!
- A single person from a team is all that is needed to fill that spot, their teammate will need to register before the close of registration to ensure their spot.
Questions? contact the League Manager.

For those who have just completed a Learn-to-Curl and/or joined as a new member of the Kalamazoo Curling Club, WELCOME! We are so glad to have you!
Bronco League is our BEGINNER league! This league is meant for members who have less than 1-2 years of curling experience.
Here, we will provide you with coaching from our experienced members to assist in your rock delivery, sweeping, strategy/game-calling, and anything else you would like improved! Teams are created by the league manager (we will do our best to keep friends and family together), and we don’t keep track of wins and losses – the premise of this league is to prepare you to join our other leagues.
