Try Curling At Our Open House, Sunday, Feb. 28!
February 16th, 2010
The sudden surge in traffic on our site can only mean one thing — Winter Olympics Curling season!
So if you’re here looking for how you can try this great sport, please mark your calendar for our Open House on Sunday, February 28, from 2pm-6pm! You’ll get to visit our facility, meet many of our members, and get a chance to try curling! Find out what you should bring and how to get here on our Open House page.
If you can’t attend our Open House, you may drop by after 6:30pm Monday-Saturday during the Olympics to watch a league game and ask any questions you might have.
If you’d like to continue curling after then, we’re offering a week of Learn-To-Curl classes and a Instructional League for the rest of our season. Come join the fun!
I am such a huge fan of curling. Please send me instructions on joining your club.
Also, where can i play?
Curling looks like a lot of fun! IS there any other days that i can try it out because i am unable to during the open house… Also is there a junior league because i’m under 18.
If you’d like to join the club, be sure to use the form for Membership on our Contact Us page and let us know. If you are coming to our Open House, please let us know on our Open House page.
We’d very much like people considering membership to go through our Learn To Curl program the first week of March to learn enough to compete in league games. New full year members after then get to compete the remainder of our season on a 4-week Instructional League until we meltdown in early April. Then, no more curling until our next season begins in October.
If you can’t attend our open house, get to the club any night (7pm-10pm Mon-Sat) during the Olympics and we’ll be happy to show you our club and you can watch a league game, but there is no ice time available for drop-ins. You’d need to sign up for the Learn To Curl program if you want to get on our ice this season and can’t make the Open House.
There is a Juniors league available. Use the Youth Curling link on our Contact Us page to ask for more info.
Response to our Open House invitation has been overwhelming and we’re expecting a tremendous number of visitors that day–probably the most that our club has ever seen before! We’ll do our best to get everyone on the ice, but it will be very quick!
At what time is the learn to curl classes and what are the fees?
Ooooh, too bad it falls right in the gold medal game! If it’s the U.S. and Canada, I’ll be watching that. Or the U.S. and anyone. Or Canada and anyone. (My wife is Canadian.) But very friendly pitch and nice site. Who knew all these years that this was right in my own backyard.
Hi. Are there curling competitions for “older” folks, perhpas akin to the Masters program in track and field? Or does everyone compete together (save the Juniors) regardless of age? I am interested in Curling, but hope that age 58 isn’t too old to start learning.
@Stacy – Our next Learn To Curl session will run the week of March 8 and participants would schedule and attend 2 of these evening sessions. Please come to our Open House to learn more, or use the Membership Contact Us form to request more info.
@Randy – Seniors bonspiels do exist and 58 isn’t too old to start learning to curl. Please come to our Open House learn more.
