great time learning to curl! sis and i thought it was well organized and fun. our instructor was laid back, friendly and taught us the basics of the sport without going overboard. once we learned the techniques and got comfortable on the ice, we played a game...which was the best part! i would definitely go again and bring other friends. thanks!
Lots of fun. Instructors were excited about the sport and willing to teach. Good thing to do with a bunch of friends!
It was first time for me on the ice so I was nervous walking on it. After I got my feet wet, literally speaking, I got the hang of moving around. For the curling part, I had trouble kicking off with the curling rock. Instructor was helpful. After 3 tries, I have the knack for it. All I need now are knee pads to handle the slips :P

About Curling
The curling delivery is a lot like a golf or baseball swing – it’s about a shift in momentum. In golf, for example, you start in a neutral position, bring the club back, then swing forward, following through to your target. It’s the same idea in curling: Start in a comfortable crouch. Make a small rocking movement forward, then a bigger move backwards. Finally, step forward and slide out, finishing with your hand towards the target.
