New to Curling
Thinking of trying the sport of curling? Curling is a unique sport that requires both skill and strategy — often referred to as chess on ice. It’s a lifelong sport that can be learned at any age, with an emphasis on sportsmanship and fair play.
Being a social sport by nature, it’s not uncommon for teams to socialize off the ice where lasting friendships are made.
When Are Games Played?
The curling season at the Simcoe Curling Club runs from the end of October to mid‑April. Learn to Curl and the Youth program typically run on weekends. Leagues run during weekdays, weeknights, and weekend evenings.
