Junior curling in Wisconsin, such as High School curling, has been in existence since the early 1950s and continues strong today.  High School curling differs from "Junior Curling" in that the teams are made up of four curlers (all girls or all boys) from the same school district or high school.  High School Curling ultimately results in the Wisconsin High School Championships, usually contested at the Wausau Curling Center.  There are separate divisions for boys' and girls' teams.  There is no national high school championship at this time.

Additionally, there are competitions for Juniors U18  (Under age 18) and Juniors U21 (ages up to 21).  These competitions are  managed by the USCA (United States Curling Associations).   State and Regional Junior Playdowns are held to determine qualifiers for the U18 and U21 National Championships.  U21 National Champions can qualify for the Junior World Championships.  

Junior curlers can compete in both the high school championships and for the National Playdowns.
