Four time Brier champion and Olympic gold medalist Kevin Martin brought his curling expertise to the town of Cudworth over the weekend.

Kevin and his son Karrick offered two clinics, one on Friday afternoon and one on Saturday morning.

The clinics are important to bring to small towns explained Kevin.

"It's also very important to meet with the school kids and not just talk to the curlers but all of the kids in the community and not just about curling either, it's about all sports. We really do try to drive home the idea of the kids playing as many sports as possible not just curling but curling as well and I think it's important for a healthy community that kids get involved in all sorts of sports."

Friday night featured a social and dance where Kevin and Karrick, who curls with team Bottcher out of Edmonton, were the guest speakers for the evening.

The turn out for the clinics was phenomenal according to Kevin, "we had in between 60 and 70 kids for these clinics... that's huge. Cudworth is not a very big town and we had that many kids so that was awesome. That's why we do this, it's about growing the sport in kids."

Kevin has been teaching the learn to curl clinics since 1991 and it continues to be an important part of his career.

Growing up in a small community with limited resources, Martin knows these learn to curl clinics and presentations can be really valuable for high school students in smaller communities.

"I'm sure that's exactly what the kids are thinking in grade 10, 11, 12 here, you know what's their next move? How are they gonna do this? My son Karrick comes with quite often to talk to the kids from his point of view, that he's just put of university and how he did it, and I think that's an important message for the kids so they feel a little bit more at ease."

The curling legend said life after high school and during post secondary school can be a lot easier and satisfying if you have experience and an interest in numerous sports.
