Learn to Curl, step by step
The Curling School at the Calgary Curling Club supports adults learning to curl through successive programs that prepare you for success. Curling is a place for everyone!
Step 1 is the Adult Learn to Curl program. Next, move to the Greenhorn League to use your new skills in an instructor-supported league. At that point you are ready to join one of the CCC Leagues. Custom lessons are always available for first time curlers, seasoned veterans looking to improve their game, or anyone in between.
If you have any questions about learning to curl, contact the club via email.
Step 1: Adult Learn to Curl
We are here to help. This is our introductory instructional program for adults with little to no curling experience. You will learn the FUNdamentals of curling: techniques, rules, strategy, and etiquette. You will also practice your newly acquired skills in game situations with your classmates and supported by your instructors. Upon completion of this program our Greenhorn League is your next step.
Each Learn to Curl program runs for six weeks. Cost: $200 (plus GST). Our Winter 2024 program runs on Saturdays at 7:15 pm starting January 13 (6 sessions Jan 13, 20, 27, Feb 3, 10, 24).

Step 3: The Next Step (Curling League)
The Next Step (novice) Curling league IS the next step after our Greenhorn League
Join as an individual or team. This league will be a 6 week league for those curlers ready for The Next Step after Greenhorn League. There will be 6 weeks of game play with a regular schedule. This league will not have instruction. This is a great way to continue on your curling journey ! Sundays 12-2pm.
Step 4: Join a League
League play begins in late September and goes until late March. There is also a Spring League in April for those who just want to curl longer. There is no curling from May to early September.
We host league play every day throughout the season from 8:30 in the morning through to 11 at night. There are Evening Leagues every weekday evening, and Associate Leagues during the day and on weekends. You are sure to find a league that works for you!
