USA Curling has officially launched its Ambassador Programme for 2020.

The Amabassador Programme sees Tyler George, a member of the United States' Olympic  gold medal-winning men’s curling team at Pyeongchang 2018, go on tour as he looks to give back to the sport from which he has now retired.

Clubs can submit a request to the 37-year-old for his time through a dedicated website here.

Interested parties will be asked about their plans with George and the commitment they will make.

A representative of USA Curling will call the clubs to talk about their plans and work out details, including timing appearances and financials.

"Whether it be to work with your junior curlers, help your fundraising efforts, conduct an outreach in your community on behalf of your club, or watch 'Curling Night in America' with your club to learn more about strategy, Tyler is available on a limited basis in 2020," a statement on USA Curling’s website reads.

"Tyler loves to give back to curling and share his stories, curling expertise and love of the sport with the club members who cheered him on throughout his career. 

"Your club and community, with the help of USA Curling, can make it happen."

Sessions will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

USA Curling is currently booking out through to July 2020.

"Clubs can use this event as a great opportunity to fundraise and grow within their communities," the statement reads.

"Clubs are encouraged to reach out to local media outlets to maximise the exposure.

"Be creative, join with another local club, community sponsors, local schools – an Olympic champion could be coming to your town and that does not often happen."

There is a cost to the USA Curling Ambassador Programme but it is claimed to be "nomina" in relation to the potential benefits clubs will receive when George visits.

USA Curling does not profit from the visits.

"We want as many USCA (United States Curling Association) member clubs as possible to experience this rare opportunity to enjoy a visit from Tyler and hold his Olympic gold medal," the statement adds.
