We know quite a bit about the USA Curling High Performance curlers, but we don't talk nearly enough about the rest of the competitive curlers in the USA. This blog focuses on national championships like 5-and-Under, arena nationals, and club nationals.

I got hooked on the sport of curling after the Team Shuster won gold at the 2018 Olympics. I tried curling at my local curling club the next fall and didn't look back. I love to put a focus on some of the non-High Performance teams in the USA.
