Learn to Curl

What should I expect?

Hollywood Curling schedules a few open houses through out the year. At an open house we devote the entire night to the introduction and instruction of curling. The Open House is ideal for those who have never tried the sport before, but are curious to learn the basics. This is the perfect opportunity to try it out in a pressure free environment.

We start with an introduction video. Thereafter we conduct an ice safety meeting prior to stepping on the ice. You’ll spend about an hour or so on the ice, learning about delivery, sweeping and the finer points of the game.

What kind of equipment do I need?

Hollywood Curling provides all the necessary equipment for this session. Simply wear loose fitting pants and a sweatshirt. You should dress in layers - it can be chilly on the ice, but you heat up quickly once you start playing and sweeping. Bring clean flat-soled comfortable shoes. (Tennis shoes or sneakers work well.)

When will I be good enough to play in a league?

After your very first lesson! Once you learn the basics, the best way to get better is to continue to play. Whether by clinics or joining our short leagues, just getting on the ice and throwing stones will make you better. Of course, if you take advantage of our Learn to Curl sessions, before, it can only help. Plus, the more you play, the more you’ll get to know other members and form a team you’ll enjoy playing with the entire league.

Have a large group and can’t make it to a learn to curl night?
