The target audience for this course is ages 21+ who have curled less than 5 times in their life, and not recently.

**Anyone 20 years old and younger, will need to join a junior program that runs each October to March.

Learn to curl will cover:

• the layout of the sheet and basic curling terminology

• rules and etiquette

• equipment and safety

• throwing the rock (set up, slide, release)

• sweeping

We have equipment for you to borrow while in the rink but you will need to bring/ wear:

-Light jacket or sweater

-Clean indoor rubber soled shoes that allow your ankles to bend such as running shoes

-Gloves or mitts that are thinner and easy to hold a broom with

-Pants that you can easily move in

-Helmets are optional for adult curlers

-Hat/ headband optional

After the course, if you would like to form a team for the next season you have a good chance of meeting some beginner curlers in the Learn to Curl course or if you sign up as a full member we can see if there is a team looking for an extra member. Curling teams need a minimum of 4 members but you can have as many on a team as you are comfortable with. Some teams have as many as 8 members to cover for each other when they are sick or away from town etc.
