Guide to Curling
Learn the Game
Curling, although an Olympic sport, is a social sport that is easily learned and can be played and enjoyed by men and women, young and old. The best way to learn the game is to come out and play which you can do either by coming to an Open House or by participating in a Rent and Curl at our Club.
While the main object of the game is to determine the relative skill of the players, the spirit of the game of curling demands good sportsmanship, and honorable conduct both on and off the ice.
