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. 

All questions can be directed to chicagol2c@gmail.com

 

FAQ

What is the class format?

A typical 2 hour class includes 15 minutes for: an introduction, a short video, warm-up, and the all important safety discussion. The remainder of the time is focused on on-ice instruction and includes and abbreviated two-end curling game. At the end of the class some time will be set aside for socializing and refreshments, known as "broomstacking", and we will outline current membership opportunities.

What do I wear?

Please bring:

  • A pair of sneakers with clean soles (these cannot be your street shoes)
  • Loose clothing (e.g. track or yoga pants)
  • A jacket or sweater that will not shed fibers on the ice
The ice is, well cold, and the air temperature in our ice house is approximately 40° F. You may also want some gloves and maybe a hat or a toque. Layers are recommended.
