Last March, COVID-19 put a sudden end to the curling season and sports in general. Now, sports organizations are making "Return To Play" plans for later this year. In this week's episode of Coaching Kids Curling, Coach Glenn talks about Curling Canada's "Return To Play Guidelines" document and shares his concerns about re-opening his Little Rocks program this fall. In this week's “Coaching Tidbit,” we highlight a youth football club in England that has done an amazing job of communicating its core values and goals.
