A message from the SVCC Board of Directors on the issue of transgender participation in sports.

Transgender athletes are part of our club, our sport, and our community. They deserve to participate fully and authentically in curling, free from exclusion or harm. Rules that limit participation based on gender identity are damaging to those directly targeted and to our community as a whole.

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has issued new guidelines restricting transgender participation, which all National Governing Bodies, including USA Curling, must follow. These directives did not originate in curling, but they affect curlers everywhere.

At Silicon Valley Curling Club, we are clear: trans athletes are welcome. We believe that people are the best curlers when they have the freedom to be their genuine selves. Furthermore, we believe that the SVCC community is better when it is representative of the communities in which we curl. We welcome and encourage people of any gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, or any group to join our activities, including leagues, bonspiels, Learn to Curls, instructional & developmental events, and more. Exclusionary language, behavior, and harassment are taken seriously at SVCC, and our members are expected to understand and follow the club's Code of Conduct.

SVCC stands in solidarity with curling clubs around the country who are committed to transgender participation in sport, and we urge curlers of all genders to add their voices of support to this cause.

🏆 Congrats to Team Sequoia — your San Jose Summer League champions! They went undefeated all season and clinched the win (and the trophy!) in the championship game!

Fun fact: the trophy weighs the same as a curling rock. 😎

Team Sequoia with the league championship trophy!
