15 CHASKA CURLING CENTER Q&A How do I try curling? A great way to get involved with curling would be a learn to curl class. These two hour classes cover rules, etiquette, sweeping, and on-ice practice of proper delivery and sweeping techniques. We ask that those new to the game participate in a learn to curl class before using the ice or playing in leagues. Is this like bowling, can we rent a lane? Curling ice and equipment is very specialized and expensive. Damage to the ice, hacks, and rocks can and does happen when inexperienced curlers step on the ice. On top of that, we don t want people going out on the ice and getting hurt. We ask that people with no curling experience participate in a learn to curl class or a group lesson before using our practice ice. It will make for a much more enjoyable experience. The leagues look fun, how do I get involved? The spring and summer is a great time to get involved in curling. We are one of only a few facilities in the country that offer year-round ice. Spring and summer leagues are 7 weeks long and the cost is cheaper as our memberships are pro-rated and the season is shorter. We would ask that new curlers participate in a beginner league. Our open leagues will have more experienced curlers looking for more competitive games. For your safety and enjoyment, as well as an understanding of the game and etiquette, a learn to curl class or time on the ice with an experienced curler is required before participating in league. This looks like a fun activity for my coworkers. Do you offer company parties? We host corporate team-building curling lessons almost every day. The best times to book are Monday Friday during the early afternoon. We provide a quick off-ice lesson on the game including rules and scoring and then work with you on the ice. Your group will have a great time learning about and playing the game. No curling experience is needed. We have instructors on the ice the entire time to make sure you are having a great time. Catering options are available through the Crooked Pint and meeting space is available in our 40 person lounge or 300 seat Event Center. chaskacurlingcenter.com (952)
