1. What to wear?
Dress in layers. It may feel cold when you start, (the arena temperature averages 45-50 degrees), so dress as you might for outside weather (i.e., gloves, hat, thick socks), but keep in mind that once you get moving into the active parts of the lesson/game, you may feel quite warm so layers are recommended.
For shoes, wear clean, athletic (rubber soled) shoes. And, long pants only (no shorts.)
2. What will the Learn-to-Curl (LTC) lesson include?
-
15 minutes of off-ice instruction reviewing terminology, ice safety, rules and a brief history of this exciting game.
-
Around 30-45 minutes of on-ice instruction that includes how to throw a stone, how to sweep, how to score, and some basic game strategy.
-
The remainder of time (30-45 minutes) will be actual game play, so you can utilize the skills you've just acquired and have a friendly competition with the other participants.
3. What are the Age and/or Health Restictions?
Anyone age 12 and up can learn to curl. (Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.)
Anyone with physical limitations in regards to bending, squatting or lunging will be able to deliver the stones using an alternative delivery device called a "stick." Also, sweeping is not mandatory if an individual is unable to walk down the ice sheet while slightly bent over. We will provide complete instruction for this adaptive form of play.
4. What equipment is needed?
CurlVegas supplies all of the equipment necessary for the game of curling (stones, brooms, sliders, stabilizers).
5. Are masks required?
In accordance with the State of Nevada's current Mask Mandate, masks are optional and at the sole discretion of the participant.
