What does an "ELM Tree" have to do with curling? In this week's episode of Coaching Kids Curling, Coach Glenn reveals what E.L.M. stands for and why it holds such a prominent place in his Little Rocks program. He also offers practical advice on how to implement a coaching philosophy into your youth curling program. In this week's “Coaching Tidbit,” we recommend a game from 2004 with one of the most memorable finishes in curling history!
