This leaves me looking for a u20 women's team for the 2022/23 season. I am open to playing any position, but the majority of my experience has been as skip. This past year I skipped the Brock University junior varsity team. I'm going into my second year of university next year for accounting, my availability is open with the exception of exam periods (December&April). Alongside being open to any position, I am also available to be a spare (full season or for an event). I am more than willing to travel for practices/events, and would love any opportunity to play competitively next year. I have been curling since I was 4 years old and I think that this experience will bring a lot to any prospective team. Alongside the u20 women's level, I am also open to playing mixed doubles. I have played in the past, but not to a great extent due to not having a partner. Any inquiries can message me at ryenne8@yahoo.com. | ryenne8@yahoo.com | |||
