TEAM BUILDING • ALL AGES & ABILITIES • OLYMPIC EXPERIENCE
Curling is a dynamic sport: four people work together on every shot, communicating constantly. That makes it a terrific team-building exercise, or simply a great time with friends. The focus is on fun, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

MORE INFORMATION
Group size: Groups can range from 4 to 32 participants. For larger groups, we can fit two groups of 16 into the same 2-hour block. Everyone attends the off-ice talk together, then the first group of 16 takes the ice for about an hour before switching with the second group. Contact the club for pricing.
Teams: Curling is played 4 against 4, but games can be adjusted for teams of 3 (or even 5). To save time, set your teams or tournament brackets before you arrive. Typically, one team plays another for the full session and gets in about 4 to 5 ends. (An end is like an inning in baseball and takes about 15–20 minutes.) If you're running a tournament or want to play different opponents, plan on each "game" being one or two ends.
Safety: Slips and falls are very rare, but they can happen, and dress shoes increase the risk. Please bring clean athletic shoes. They keep our ice clean and keep you safe.
Juniors: Junior groups (ages 12–20) are welcome and encouraged. Children under 12 are not permitted to curl. Junior groups must have at least 1 adult supervisor for every 4 juniors. We also host curling events for Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops.
Conduct: Groups that display unsafe or unruly behavior, or that arrive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, will be asked to leave immediately without a refund, at the instructors' discretion.
Waivers: All participants must sign a waiver before stepping on the ice.
WHAT TO WEAR
- Shoes: Bring a pair of athletic shoes with clean soles. Carry them in; don't wear them in. Keeping the ice clean is extremely important. No leather-soled shoes or shoes with metal lace hooks.
- Clothing: Dress comfortably in loose-fitting or stretchy clothes, since you'll be in a lunge position. Jeans are hard to move in.
- Warmth: The curling arena is about 40°F. Consider a hat, gloves, and a warm jacket or hoodie.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE
Our lounge/viewing area has a full bar for socializing. You're welcome to bring your own food or snacks. If you need catering, let us know – we can recommend caterers or work with yours. Alcohol may not be consumed before going on the ice.
REFUND POLICY
There are no refunds or exchanges for any reason (cancellations, no-shows, weather, etc.) unless the event is cancelled by Norfolk Curling Club.
