About our Learn2Curl classes
Join us for a Learn to Curl Class! Participants must be at least 18 years of age. The fee is $75 per person. Each class has a maximum of 32 people. Learn2Curl ticket purchases are non-refundable.
In the class you will learn some history about curling, curling in Illinois, and the advantages of curling with us here at Chicago Curling Club! We will spend about an hour and a half on the ice learning how to throw and sweep a stone along with basic strategy.
The Ice House is kept at a comfortable 40F. We recommend loose fitting clothing or athletic wear that you can comfortably perform a lunge in.
We try to keep the playing surface as clean as possible so please bring a pair of shoes to change into once you arrive. The shoes you wear on the ice must have clean soles, free from dirt, mud, gravel or grass. We recommend any gym/tennis shoe that allows for a good range of motion from your ankle.
Please sign up for one event date only.
**Occasionally we need to reschedule Learn2Curl events based on registrations and volunteer availability. If this happens, we'll do our best to work with you to reschedule to a future event date that works for your availability.
***All Learn2Curl tickets purchases are non-refundable.
