Learn to Curl Sessions

We love the sport of curling at the Cornwall Curling Club and have a passion for sharing that love with people who are interested in learning about and trying the sport.

Each year we host two FREE pre-season introductory class – one for children ages 6-12, one for those thirteen through adults.

These are a great way to get on the ice, learn a little about the rules of the sport, meet some of our Club members, and learn the basics of curling.

FREE Introductory Learn to Curl (Ages 13 – Adult)

Adults and youth age thirteen and over who would like to try the fun sport of curling are invited to attend the Cornwall Curling Club’s FREE, no-obligation three-evening introductory Learn to Curl on and off-ice instructional sessions on October 17th, 18th, and 19th – beginning at 6:30 each evening.

Attendance on all three days is not required but highly recommended. Attend any evenings you can — we’ll have sessions at various levels each evening!

If you enjoy this session you are still able to join the club and play in a league this season!

Many people feel comfortable joining in one of our recreational leagues (typically we encourage Thursday or Friday night leagues for our beginner) right out of these Learn to Curl sessions. People in these leagues LOVE having new curlers and are great at continuing to help our new members learn to rules and skills of curling – and our Thursday and Friday night leagues are usually a great blend of veteran and new curlers.

Membership information can be found at: Membership Rates and Information

For those who enjoy the event but want to learn a little more before jumping into a league, we have started a new 8-session Learn to Curl program that will run from October 29th through December 17th on Sundays from 4:30pm – 6:00pm.

Registration, details, and a new website page will be available very soon – but if you have any questions feel free to reach out to the club manager at cornwallcurling@eastlinkca.

This event is FREE. Limit of 32 curlers.

Please register by Thursday, October 12th at 5:00pm online (link below), by contacting the Club at 902-566-4427 during business hours, or by sending an email with your phone contact information to cornwallcurling@eastlink.ca

Please bring indoor CLEAN footwear and wear loose clothing. CSA-approved helmets (any type) are recommended for beginner curlers but are not mandatory for these age groups.

8-Week Learn to Curl Program (Ages 13 – Adult)

For those wanting a more in-depth introduction to curling than our pre-season introductory Learn to Curl sessions, we now offer an 8-Week Adult Learn to Curl Program that will introduce you to the sport of curling and is designed for beginning curlers, those returning to the sport after time off, or newer curlers looking to improve their game!

While many people feel comfortable joining in one of our recreational leagues right out of the pre-season introductory Learn to Curl sessions, we found that some new curlers weren’t quite ready to make the jump into a league – so we have created this new program to fill that gap.

Each session will include off-ice instruction and also on-ice instruction and activities – including drills, mini-games, etc. As the weeks progress more and more time will be spent learning through playing in games. This is an excellent “follow-up” to our introductory pre-season Learn to Curl events, but participation in that event is NOT required to join this program.

The program will run on Sunday from October 29th through December 17th from 4:30pm – 6:00pm.

This event costs $95 +HST. Limit of 32 curlers.

Please register by Thursday, October 26th at 5:00pm online (link below), by contacting the Club at 902-566-4427 during business hours, or by sending an email with your phone contact information to cornwallcurling@eastlink.ca

Please bring indoor CLEAN footwear and wear loose clothing. CSA-approved helmets (any type) are recommended for beginner curlers but are not mandatory for these age groups.
