The questions we hear all the time from people thinking about Learn to Curl.
🥌 Am I going to be the only person who has no idea what they’re doing?
Not even close. Learn to Curl is designed for beginners, so you’ll be learning alongside other people who are figuring it out too. You don’t need to know the rules, the terminology, or how to throw a stone before you arrive.
🥌 What if I can’t do that curling slide?
You don’t have to slide like the professionals to enjoy curling. There are different ways to deliver a stone, including using a delivery stick. Our instructors will help you find a way that works for you.
🥌 Do I need to find three other people to sign up with me?
Nope. You can register on your own. You’ll meet other people through the program, and you don’t need to arrive with a team or know anyone at the club.
🥌 What if I miss a class?
Life happens. Missing a class doesn’t mean you can’t continue, but Learn to Curl is a progressive six-week program, and each week builds on the last. Consistent attendance helps you get the most out of the experience, so we encourage you to come ready to commit to the full program.
🥌 What if I haven’t tried a new sport in years?
Then you’re in good company. Plenty of adults come to curling after years of not trying anything new. You’re allowed to be a beginner, ask questions, and laugh at the shots that don’t go quite as planned. That’s part of learning.
🥌 What happens after Learn to Curl?
You don’t have to stop after six weeks. Barrie Curling Club has beginner-friendly opportunities to keep playing, including our Development League. You can continue building your skills, meet more people, and make curling part of your winter.
