Long Island Curling Club: Promoting and Fostering Competition in the Sport of Curling
Long Island Curling Club is a non-profit organization that aims to promote and foster competition in the sport of curling on Long Island and beyond. The club was founded by a group of passionate curlers who wanted to bring the sport to Long Island, where it was virtually unknown at the time. Today, Long Island Curling Club has grown into a thriving community of curlers who share a love for this unique and exciting sport.
Curling is a game that originated in Scotland over 500 years ago. It involves sliding stones across ice towards a target area while teammates sweep the ice in front of the stone to control its speed and direction. The game requires skill, strategy, teamwork, and precision – making it an excellent way to stay active while having fun.
Long Island Curling Club offers opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels to learn about curling, practice their skills, compete against other teams, and make new friends along the way. Whether you are an experienced curler or just starting out, there is something for everyone at Long Island Curling Club.
The club offers several programs throughout the year that cater to different interests and abilities. For beginners who want to learn about curling from scratch, there are Learn-to-Curl sessions that provide instruction on basic techniques such as delivering stones, sweeping techniques, rules of play etc.. These sessions are led by experienced coaches who will guide you through every step of learning how to play this fascinating game.
For those looking for more competitive opportunities or wanting more practice time with other members outside regular league play can join our Developmental League which provides additional games each week with coaching support available during games as well as practices held before each game night.
Long Island Curling Club also hosts several bonspiels (curling tournaments) throughout the year where teams from different clubs come together to compete. These events are a great way to meet new people, test your skills against other teams, and have fun in a friendly and competitive environment.
In addition to its regular programs and events, Long Island Curling Club also offers private rentals for corporate events, birthday parties or any other special occasion. The club has all the necessary equipment including stones, brooms etc.. so you can enjoy curling without having to invest in your own gear.
Long Island Curling Club is run by a dedicated group of volunteers who are passionate about the sport and committed to making it accessible to everyone. The club is always looking for new members who share this passion and want to get involved in promoting curling on Long Island.
