In the Czech Republic, a distinction is made between the categories of juniors (U22) and pupils (U16) for young players. In general, curling can be played from about 8 years of age (a curling stone weighs almost 20 kg. Even if the stone is only sent, it is better if the curler is heavier than the stone).<\/p>\n
Currently, the Czech junior national team is competing at the World Junior B Championship, which will be played on December 8-19, 2022. The Czech Republic is represented by juniors Dion XX (Zelingrov\u00e1) and juniors Ledoborci NG (Han\u00e1k).<\/p>\n
From MS-B it is possible to advance to MS-A, which will take place in late February and March 2023 in Germany.<\/p>\n
Recently, the juniors were close to promotion from MS-B, but covid prevented them. Juniors last played MS-A in 2013, juniors in 2015.<\/p>\n
The most important junior event in our country. The competition for boys and girls (U21) is played separately. The only Czech tournament that is part of the European Junior Curling Tour. The last edition in October 2022 was won by the Scots (Henderson) and the Japanese (Maeda). More info. You can find summary information on the website curling.cz\/ejct2022.<\/p>\n
