Do you have Olympic Curling Fever!?!

A Learn 2 Curl is a great way for anyone, age 12 and up, to get their first exposure to the sport of curling. Each Olympic Learn 2 Curl session is 2-1/2 hours and is designed to introduce people to the basics of curling. Participants will take part in physical gameplay, sweeping of the stone, and learn some of the rules and strategy used in curling. Don't worry if you can't manage the traditional slide delivery due to physical challenges; we will teach you how to deliver the stone using an alternative delivery called the "stick" method.

A Learn 2 Curl session includes:

  • A brief off-ice instruction to go over the basics of curling, terminology, ice safety, and rules.
  • On-Ice instruction on how to deliver the stone, how to sweep, and basic strategy.
  • An opportunity to play an "end" or two as time allows. (An "end" is curling's equivalent to an inning or round in a game.)

Clothing:

  • Dress in layers. The on-ice temperature is between 30º- 40º F. If you normally wear a hat outside, you'll probably want to wear one while curling as well.
  • Clothing should allow freedom of movement. You need to be able to squat and lunge (blue jeans are not recommended since your movement is restricted).
  • Lightweight gloves keep your hands warm while still allowing you to feel the stone.
  • You'll be standing on ice for an hour so rubber-soled athletic shoes (tennis shoes) are the best. Boots or other shoes that come above the ankle are not recommended as they will restrict movement and can be more slippery.
    • Note: Please carry in a pair of clean rubber-soled shoes. 

 Equipment:

  • All equipment (grippers, brooms, stabilizers, sticks, etc.) will be provided by the club.

Cost:

  • $30 per person- Zelle, cash or check due at the time of check in
