Registration Recap
Thank you to all our skips for your help making league registration run smoothly for this season. 97% of Frogtown’s 2025-26 teams are returning for this season, which means there were 5 open slots for leagues this year (2 in each Friday league and 1 on Tuesday at 6pm). New this year, those open slots were filled with a lottery system that had hundreds of entrants (probably). If you’re curious which five teams were drawn from the Crock Pot of Fate™,
Thanks to Dan Mueller and the registration team for running league registration!
Volunteer at Frogtown, Earn Fun Things!
Do you have a very particular set of skills? Skills you have acquired over a very long career? Skills that make you a nightmare for tasks that need to be completed to ensure continued smooth operation of a curling club? Frogtown needs you!
Frogtown relies heavily on volunteers to keep the club running. Frogtown volunteers lead building projects, league registration and operations, Learn to Curl instruction, bonspiel organization and operation, merch, communications, in-club technology (including streaming the games on Youtube), and many more projects.
Volunteers at Frogtown earn Frogs throughout the year as part of the club’s Volunteer Incentive Program. At the end of the year, those frogs get turned into entries for awesome prizes. Previous prizes include valuable items like a free ice rental, or a guaranteed spot in the next year’s Member Spiel. Volunteers who reach 5 and 10 frogs also get exclusive volunteer rewards.
Have a skill you’d like to contribute but don’t know where it fits, or have an idea with a plan to implement it? Email Volunteer Coordinator Ryan Mintz at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to get started. Even if you don’t think it’s a curling-related skill, we can always use interior decoration help.
2026-2027 Bonspiel Calendar
Frogtown’s bonspiel calendar is jam packed with Fun Club excitement; this season we’re hosting eight bonspiels. As always, we will be looking for volunteers to help welcome teams to our club and make sure they have an awesome weekend.
The full calendar with registration openings is available on the website, but start marking your calendar now to come out and show the rest of the curling world why Frogtown is The Fun Club™.
