Advertising Opportunities at the National Capital Curling Center

The Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver, B.C. this curling season (February 2010). During the last two Winter Olympic Games, curling led television ratings for all Winter Olympic sports. Local media also highlighted the sport and the National Capital Curling Center during the Winter Olympics.

During the 2006 Winter Olympics, the Potomac Curling Club hosted a series of Olympic Open Houses - in one weekend over 1300 visitors came to the National Capital Curling Center to experience curling first-hand. We expect an even larger number during the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Now is the time to get your message across to a large number of people, while supporting an all-volunteer, community-based sports education club. Please contact us at the addresses below to get the process started:

Advertising Advantage
The Potomac Curling Club is located at the National Capital Curling Center (NCCC), in Laurel, Maryland, adjacent to The Gardens Ice House complex. The facility maintains four sheets (playing surfaces) of world class quality curling ice, a kitchen, dressing rooms, and a warm room (lounge) for socializing and spectating. Current club membership consists of over 170 men, women, and children of all ages (curling is a social, family-oriented sport) from the metro Washington, D.C. and Baltimore regions. The curling season runs from October into April, and the club is used virtually every day of the week during that period. During an average week, over 200 people pass through the NCCC to play, receive lessons, spectate, or volunteer.

In addition to regular leagues for local members, the club will host six national, regional, and local competitions on weekends during the 2009-2010 season - events that will attract up to 200 participates and spectators.
