Join the Lone Star Curling Club in learning the roaring game while contributing to a fantastic cause! This two-hour event will have our instructors teaching you the basic skills of curling, followed by playing ends of the game. Open to all abilities.
Cost is $50/person. 50% of your entry fee goes directly to the Austin AFSP Out of the Darkness Walk Team, benefiting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Below is some information on the event:
Everyone should wear loose, comfortable, warm clothing – i.e., sweat pants, stretch pants, yoga pants, long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, winter or warm socks, etc. Hats and gloves are optional but they are always easier to remove than to be cold. Regular jeans are not ideal but if that’s all someone has, they will suffice. Stretchy jeans are better. The key here is loose fitting or stretchable clothing (easier to throw the stones) and warm layers. Many people will peel off an outer layer of clothing when they start sweeping vigorously.
Everyone should wear closed-toe athletic shoes with rubber soles, such as tennis shoes. No dress shoes, heels, sandals, boots, etc., as they can be dangerous on ice. We will supply grippers to put over everyone’s shoes to help grip the ice a little better. We will also supply all the other equipment needed to curl – brooms, sliders, stabilizers and of course, stones.
