Our series profiling youth curling programs continues. In this episode, I have a conversation with Chris Summers, Junior Program Coordinator at the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster, BC. Some of the topics we discuss include:

* Why he pays his junior coaches (7:07)
* The difference between the recreational junior program and competitive teams (17:21)
* Building a "working group" in BC to share youth curling program ideas (38:22)
* Advice to new junior program coordinators (40:29)
