Starting any new activity or sport can often be a daunting experience…but it doesn’t have to be!
Curling is an amazing Olympic Sport which is both challenging and fun….better still its a great way to meet new people and keep fit!
The game is played on ice…(without skates) between teams of four…sometimes called ‘bowls’ on ice, but there really is a lot more to it. Our qualified coaches will guide you along with the basics of the game and get you started on your way to playing stones and games.
It’s one of the few sports where all ages, genders and abilities can play together and against each other.
TryCurling sessions provide a great taster to the sport with an introduction to the basics and information on how the game is played. All equipment is supplied, including brushes and sliders. All you need is warm, loose fitting clothing and clean, flat, rubber soled shoes (trainers are ideal) to change into for curling.
We do also advise that, certainly for your first few tries, you may want to wear some form of head protection, such as a cycling helmet or similar.
After you’ve completed the TryCurling block, the idea is to move in to the local Gateway Club where you can refine your skills even further, join in some matches if you want, before then moving on further to join one of the local clubs.
For season 2024/25 we will again be offering a choice of daytime or evening TryCurling sessions.
Following on from feedback from coaches and attendees, we’re changing the blocks this season to two sessions over two weeks – most folk felt this was enough time to grasp the basics before moving on to the Gateway Club. We will still be offering a choice of daytime or evening blocks. Each block of two sessions costs £20 – use the link beside your chosen block to make your booking.
Remember, each block is strictly limited to 8 people, so if you really want a particular pair of dates, it’s probably best to book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.
No Daytime sessions planned at the moment.
