If you have never curled before, and that includes most
people, we have several opportunities for you to get your feet
wet.
Open
Houses:
The easiest way to try curling is to come by one of our scheduled
open houses. We hold an open house in October
(the beginning of our season), and another in January (the
midpoint of our season). Check our calendar or watch our
home page for dates and times.
"Drop
In" Sessions: A slightly less structured
method to try curling is to drop by for one of our "drop
in"
sessions. On Saturday
mornings, join us for our breakfast
league. Arrive by 8:15
for a quick 45 minute introductory lesson. Teams are formed
from 9:00 to 9:15 and starting at 9:15 we play an eight
end game. Breakfast is served about 8:30, depending on
who's cooking that week.
For the "Drop In" curling sessions, we will
be following our priority
procedure where
everyone will be assured the opportunity to be able to play
either all or part of the game. Members, and those
who show up and sign in earliest, are given higher preference
to play the most ends. We encourage you to come with friends
as a small group, with "small" being the operative
word. If you wish to bring the friends and neighbors and
co-workers and have 10 or 20 people, then you are talking
about a rental,
not a small group for drop-in curling.
Please
check our league pages or calendar to
be sure that the Drop In session will be held on any particular
day. They often get bumped for special events such as bonspiels
or an open house.
Learn
to Curl Programs: The most serious approach,
but still lots of fun, is our "Learn
to Curl" program, a three hour training session. We
hold these programs twice per season, in October and in January. Click
Here for a
more detailed description. Unlike the first two options,
this one carries a nominal ($35) charge.
After you
have given it a try, we hope you'll want to join. As a
brand new curler, you can join for one half of a season for
less than you might think. To encourage new curlers, you
are entitled to a significant membership discount. Please
see our Membership
Page for more details.
