4-to-1 Curling Camps


Today, 4-to-1 Curling Camps are smartCurling's principal coaching activity. A 4-to-1 Curling Camp consists of 4 athletes from one team and 1 smartCurling-appointed coach. Curling Camps are open to any teams striving to play better curling, either nationally or internationally. That means that our target customers are performance women's or men's curling teams, competing in National Championships, European Championships, World Championships and the Olympic Games.

Instruction during the 4-to-1 Curling Camp will be provided by Brian Gray, a highly-qualified international coach with over 4'000 hours of coaching experience. Brian has gained his unique experience by working with over 30 teams from nations such as Switzerland, Italy, Latvia, Estonia, Russia and Spain. The Olympic Women's Silver Medal won in Salt Lake City in 2002 was won by a team that had worked with Brian Gray for over 1500 hours in an 18-month period.

smartCurling will hold several 4-to-1 Curling Camps in Riga and Adelboden in 2012. During such a 4-to-1 Curling Camp, topics such as planning, training, competition, technique, strategy, ice-reading, communication, vocabulary and team dynamics are discussed in detail, on-ice and off-ice, with the performance team.

A smartCurling 4-to-1 Curling Camp normally lasts 7 days, including 2 travel days. In Riga, this will mean arriving on Sunday and departing on Sunday. In Adelboden, this will mean arriving on Saturday and departing on Saturday. This leaves 6 days at the smartCurling location, of which there will be 5 training days and 1 free day (mid-week). The programme for the 4-to-1 Curling Camp is co-defined in advance by smartCurling and the performance team.
