Where
do you start?
Contact a
Curling Club
near you and find out when you can get some
instruction and how soon you can start.
The Nepean Sportsplex is a "pay-as-you-play"
facility, with league play as well. The other clubs
offer very reasonable full-season rates. Some offer
half season rates too.
To start curling, all you need are some warm loose
pants and jacket, gloves or mitts and clean running
shoes. At orientation sessions, the instructors will
have sliders or sliding tape that you can use.
As you progress, purchase a slider or some curling
shoes and your own broom (if you want) and that's
it.

Where to learn to curl
in the Ottawa Region
Granite Curling
Club has a program specifically for
adult beginners (with less than 20 games played in
their lifetime). It is called "Rookies Rock" and is
structured much like the youth programs where
participants receive instruction for the first half
of the session and then play a game. This is its
fifth year and has been incredibly successful. In
fact, they are oversubscribed and have 49 people
registered so far. Contact
Brian Gatenby
for more information, or see the
Granite Website.
