Volunteer TOMORROW for public learn-to-curl

(You must be signed in to register.)
Cedar Rapids hosting arena funspiel, MCA Arena National Playdowns
Cedar Rapids Curling will host a casual, fun bonspiel with our fellow MCA arena clubs, St. Louis and Des Moines, May 13-14 in Cedar Rapids. This casual spiel will be a great way for new and experienced curlers to meet and play each other.
The fee will be $35/curler. Participants are responsible for food and beverage costs. Pins will be awarded to the winners and runners-up of the four events.
You can sign up as an individual or as a team.

The deadline to register is April 22.
Alongside the funspiel that weekend in Cedar Rapids will be the MCA Arena National Playdowns. The winners -- one women's team and one men's team -- will represent the Midwest Curling Association at the 2023 Arena National Championships in November (dates and location TBA).
Requirements:
- Non-mixed event: men's and women's teams
- Players must be a resident of the U.S. as of deadline
- All team members must be dues-paying, league-playing members of the same MCA club
- All team members must be USAC members (FYI: if you are a CRC member, you are a USAC member)
- $100 USA Curling fee + $25 MCA fee per player
The deadline to register is April 15.
We encourage ALL CRC members to consider giving Nationals a try. You don't need to be a really experienced curler. We've had members who had only been curling a year compete in this competition. It's a wonderful way to meet and learn from fellow arena curlers from across the country!
