Welcome
Family Curling is a fantastic sport for parents and youth to play together. Players age 6 to grandparent can play on the same team, cheer each other on and celebrate good shots. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t curled before, we encourage you to come out and have fun.
Most programs only require one adult and one youth to register. Feel free to register younger and older youth, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends. The more the merrier!
Welcome to the sport and community of curling!

Play Games
Ages: ~6 to Grandparent
Level: Beginner to Experienced
Family curling’s play games format is a lot of fun for curlers of all experience levels. Its greatest benefit is that it enables adults and youth of all ages to play exciting games with each other, regardless of experience level.
New players use the stick delivery, which is a great way to introduce new players to curling. In this format, players usually propel the rock with a stick from 1/3 of the way down the ice. It enables new players to play the game, experience the thrill of making great shots, and develop a passion for the sport on their first day.
Experienced curlers have the option to deliver the rock using the slide delivery or the stick delivery. Both are great fun.

Family Feedback
Yes, I would recommend the stick curling! I actually already have, friends of ours were really interested and I’m sure other friends would be as well. It was a lot of fun!”
“I would say it’s fun for everyone in the family, even our 6 year old had fun and was really good. You can learn to work as a team, and also take turns as being skip and practice some leadership skills. The kids especially liked being skip and felt in charge, it was really cool.”
