Description

Class teaches you the basics of the Olympic sport curling. This 2 hour class covers the basics of curling including scoring, rules, etiquette, and on-ice instruction on how to throw a rock, sweep, and play a game. Participants that complete a learn to curl class can explore membership and league opportunities. Ice rinks are necessarily cold so make sure you have warm clothes.  Gloves are not essential but worth bringing along. Avoid woolen gloves, as you will not be able to grip the brush handle. It is always wise to have an extra sweater. You will soon warm up after a few ends of vigorous sweeping! Pants should be made from a stretch material or be loose enough to cause no restriction in the curling delivery.  Jeans are not really suitable.  Please bring shoes with soft rubber soles for maximum grip with you. The soles should be scrupulously clean and ideally not worn anywhere on the than on the ice." *Public health protocols will be followed as recommend by state and local board of health. All participants will be required to sign a waiver regarding current COVID status and agreeing to follow posted health protocols. * We are a 2-sheet curling club located on Route 32 in Petersham, Massachusetts. We have opportunities for everyone to get on the ice, from brand new curlers to experienced, competitive ones. Drop in on any night while we curl and we'll be glad to offer you a drink and explain how curling is played.
