Additional FAQs & What to Expect:
Age Guidelines
We don’t have a strict age requirement, but find that most children need to be around 11–12 years old to comfortably deliver a 42‑pound curling stone the full length of the ice. Curling can be a wonderful family activity. If you feel your child is physically able to participate and follow on‑ice safety instructions, they are welcome to join any of our Learn to Curl experiences.
Please note: All participants must wear rubber safety grippers on the ice. Our smallest gripper fits approximately a youth size 4 / women’s size 6 shoe. If a participant cannot safely wear grippers, they will be unable to participate on the ice
Accessibility & Inclusive Curling
We want curling to be welcoming and accessible to as many people as possible. If you’re unable or uncomfortable getting into the traditional lunge position used to deliver a stone, stick curling may be a great option. This adaptive method allows participants to deliver the stone from a standing position using a delivery stick.
Stick curling is available during all Learn to Curl offerings—simply let your instructor know you’d like to use a stick, and they’ll be happy to assist.
Liability Waiver
All participants must have a completed liability waiver on file before being allowed to participate on ice. You can find the 2025/2026 wavier here.
Equipment
No additional equipment needed! Circle City Curling Club provides everything required to participate, including:
- Curling Stones
- Brooms, sliders and stabilizers
- Safety grippers
- Head Protection
What to bring
To ensure a safe and comfotable experience, please bring:
- A clean pair of rubber-soled shoes to change into
- Warm but layered clothing that allows you to move comfortably
- Bike, hockey or skateboard helmet. (If you do not bring a helmet, a padded "Ice Halo" headband will be provided)
