This is perfect for folks who are totally new to curling as well as those who are interested in a quick refresher. The class will cover the basics of the curling "delivery" (stone sliding) and sweeping - and participants will get to play a coached mini-game as time and space permit. After this class, you will be well prepared to play in a league. Cost: $10 for individuals, $30 for groups up to 4 people.
Congrats Oakland!
The first-ever curling event was held in Oakland yesterday. It was a corporate event with about 20 participants and 9 volunteers. (Thank you, volunteers!)
Details are still being worked out around league times in Oakland - but Wednesdays at 7:15 pm is one possible time. The cost will depend on the number of people in the league. Contact colleen@bayareacurling.com for more information.
