LEARN TO CURL INFO

Thinking of giving curling a try? You’re in the right place!

Curling is one of Canada's most iconic, social, and accessible sports. Whether you want a quick taste of the ice, a private lesson, or a fun group outing, we have a program tailored just for you. No experience or expensive gear required—just bring a clean pair of indoor running shoes, dress in warm layers, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Discover your options below and find your perfect fit:

1. Try Curling! (Non-Members)

  • Great for: Non-member beginners who want a fun, low-commitment test drive.
  • Vibe: Quick, social, and active.
  • What: A 2-hour introductory clinic where you’ll hit the ice with our friendly coaches. You’ll learn the basics of stepping onto the ice, delivering a rock, basic sweeping, and scoring. By the end of the session, you'll be playing your very first mini-game!
  • When: Check our Events page for more details and the four fall 2026 sessions dates.
  • Cost: $30/person.

    2. Private Lessons (Non-Members & Members)

    • Vibe: Customized, flexible, and fast-tracked.
    • What: Book a dedicated session with a certified instructor. We will tailor the hour completely to your pace, focusing on fine-tuning your balance, delivery technique, or sweeping strategy based exactly on what you want to achieve.

    • When: Sunday September 27, 2026 from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. See the Events page for more details (note - to access this clinic on the Events page, you must be a member and login accordingly).

    • What: Our 4-week program is the ultimate way to go from "rookie" to "confident curler." Each weekly 2-hour session reviews the basics and layers on new skills—from mastering the 5-step delivery to sweeping strategies. Over the 4 weeks, you'll learn alongside the same group of beginners and finish the program ready for recreational league play.
    • When: Dates for this 4-week program will be announced in early Sept 2026 so be sure to check our Events page for updates (note - to access this clinic on the Events page, you must be a member and login accordingly).
