LEARN AND PLAY THE SCOTTISH SPORT OF CURLINGOption 1: Curling participant ticket $45 (mobility aids available; see below)
Option 2: Spectator ticket $10
Curling in Scotland dates back to the 16th century! Join fellow Scots at the Detroit Curling Club and learn to play, or join the cheerleaders (or hecklers) watching from the warm room!
Curlers should arrive a little before 7:30p to be fitted for shoes, sign a waiver, and be ready for instruction.
Please wear pants that stretch, and warmer clothing (no jeans, and no fleece or other materials that may shed on the ice).
All curlers will receive a pair of rental curling shoes. They have grippers on both feet. Curlers will remove the gripper on their sliding foot when they deliver a stone, and put it back on after delivery .
Anyone of any age and ability can curl. If you are unable to do the curling "lunge", you will keep your grippers on at all times, and "stick-curl" using an extender stick similar to shuffle board.
Curlers will meet at 7:30pm to receive about 20 minutes of off-ice instruction. Then we'll go on the ice for stone delivery and sweeping instruction. Everyone will practice delivering stones, followed by playing an actual game until 10:00pm. Spectators can listen in on the off-ice instruction, or arrive later to watch the on-ice competition.
The Detroit Curling Club bartender will be at our service - please note, cash bar only! (On-ice curlers may not take alcohol into the ice area).
Let's celebrate Scotland's important role in what is now an Olympic sport!
