| Frequently Asked
Questions
Q: When is the
curling season at the SoCal Curling Club?
A:
We're lucky enough to be able to
curl all year. During that time we have "mini seasons" or leagues that run 4-6
weeks. We are working toward year round weekly curling. We encourage you to
bring friends and family to experience curling. Sign up for one mini season, or
all of them, the choice is yours.
Q: Can I be on a team if I don't have
a partner?
A: Yes — singles
can sign up for any league and they will be placed on a team that needs
additional members.
Q: I'm just a
beginner—won't I hold up the game?
A: No
way! Curling has all levels of players with a wide range of abilities.
Your skip and teammates can offer tips to help you keep the game moving
along. Curling is an easy sport to pick up — beginners, novices and
experienced curlers can all thoroughly enjoy a game together. As any
curler will tell you, even the most seasoned veteran misses shots.
Q: What equipment
do I need in order to curl?
A: Curling is a relatively inexpensive
sport. All you really need to curl is warm, comfortable clothing,
gloves, and flat, rubber-soled shoes (sneakers or running shoes often
work well). The club has brooms and some sliders available to curlers
who are new to the game. Most new curlers purchase a slider that
slips on over your own shoes for about $12.00. Once you have determined
that this is the winter sport for you, an investment of under $150.00
can buy you specially designed curling shoes, a broom and gloves.
Q: How much does it cost to be a member of
the So Cal Curling Club?
A:
Curling with the SoCal Curling Club
is relatively inexpensive. We try to keep costs down by making membership
voluntary. However, there are only so many slots available on each sheet, and
members of the club do have priority when signing up for leagues. Click
on the "Join Us" tab to see the annual club membership fee which varies
according to the type of membership you want.
Q: How can I become a member of the SoCal
Curling Club?
A: If
you would like to become a member of the SoCal Curling Club fill
out the Membership Application form on the "Join Us" tab. If you
have other questions about membership, or about the club, contact
us at info@socalcurling.org or
