This is the first in a series of profiles of youth curling programs. In this episode, I have a wide-ranging conversation with Lisa Rauliuk, Junior Program Coordinator at the Granite Curling Club of Seattle (WA, USA). Some of the topics we discuss include:
* Why it's important to be flexible as a program organizer
* Ideas to attract more youth to your curling program
* Treating junior curlers as a club asset
