Try Curling (No experience or membership required)
Calling all high school and middle school curling enthusiasts! This Learn To Curl class is just for you! Come down with your friends (and parents/guardians) and learn how to curl with the best that Anchorage has to offer. Curling is so much fun and is a great avenue to pursue any Olympic dreams that you may have. No matter what your goals are, curling is a great team activity and could be your opportunity to learn something new!
To reserve a spot for this Learn to Curl class, parents/guardians need to complete the online registration for your junior(s). A parent/guardian must be present at the class for all juniors under 16 years old. Walk-in participants are welcome but not guaranteed a spot. No refunds will be given except for extenuating circumstances. All curling equipment (brooms, stones, sliders, grippers, and stabilizers) will be provided to attendees and is covered in the class cost. Participants must be between 10 and 16 years old. Each class is limited to 16 participants.
A learn to curl class takes approximately 2 hours and participants are encouraged to arrive 10 minutes prior to the designated class start time. Volunteer instructors will spend about 20 minutes teaching the history, rules, techniques, and strategy of the game in our warm lounge. Then the group will move out to the ice rink for the remainder of the time to practice throwing stones, sweeping technique, and ultimately play a condensed game.
Participants must bring a clean pair of soft-soled shoes or tennis shoes. Dress shoes, heels, cleats, and boots with metal buckles will not be allowed on the ice. We will have a wash sink available at the club if further shoe cleaning is necessary prior to going on the ice. The ice rink area will be approximately 24-38 degrees Fahrenheit. Participants are encouraged to wear warm, flexible clothing. Sweat pants, long-sleeve shirt and/or jacket, hat, and gloves are recommended. Jeans are not recommended as they are not flexible and the rivets can damage the ice.
