TC Curling Club - Learn To Curl Classes

Curling is sweeping the nation as an enjoyable and addictive team sport that is easy to learn in just a couple of hours. The Traverse City Curling Club formed in April 2014 and offers Learn To Curl (L2C) classes at least monthly during the season. Sign up here to learn safety, etiquette, terminology, rules, sweeping, and rock delivery from experienced local curlers for just $30 for 2 hours.

Please wear a warm layer of clothing and bring clean sneakers to use on the ice. If there appears to be no space left in a class that you wish to attend, please email us for more information.

Learn To Curl LEVEL 1: Beginner Curling Skills

Prerequisites: NONE (At least one L2C class is necessary before joining a TCCC curling league.)

Learn to Curl level 1 classes are designed for those brand new to curling or who have been away from the game for a very long time. This 2-hour class will cover ice safety, basic curling terminology, stone delivery techniques, sweeping techniques and general game scoring and rules. By the end of this class you will be throwing stones down the ice and playing a mini-game!

Learn To Curl LEVEL 2: "Skills and Drills"

Limited to a small group, this clinic is designed for intermediate curlers who have completed a Learn to Curl class and are looking to improve their delivery technique: alignment, balance and curl (grip, turn and release). Video equipment will be available to help evaluation of delivery mechanics. Drills will be introduced that will allow participants to practice their skills. Instructor: Jillian Riecke
