Adult Intro to Curling

October 3, 2026

10:00 am - 12:00

Registration open from Aug 24 - Sept 27

Are you 18+ and looking for a fun new way to stay active? Join our Learn to Curl Clinic where we will show you how to get active in one of Canada's favourite sports. You'll be introduced to the basics of throwing a rock, sweeping, and an intro to playing a game.  

All equipment is supplied. You need to bring very clean shoes with simple, flat soles. We need to fit you with grippers for walking on the ice, and heels and flared soles don't fit those well. A sports helmet that protects the back of your head is recommended. The temperature is around freezing, so dress warmly. No shorts! 

For those under 18, we have a Junior Learn to Curl Clinic available on October 3 in the afternoon (see event registration for details).

Monday Learn to Curl/Novice League  

Monday  7:00 to 9:15 p.m.             

Cost:  $170  per 10 Classes

Session 1: Oct 19 - Dec 21 (registration open on Aug 24)

Session 2: Jan 11 - March 15 (registration opens in November)

First-time registrants will have their membership fees ($60 Capital Reserve fee and $29 club affilition fees) covered by the NCC. People registering for a second session will all need to pay the $89 membership fees, and will be billed separately for this after registering.

New to curling or just returning? This is the league for you. We focus on fun and comradery while learning the game in a safe and helpful setting. 

This league has two sessions with 10 weeks each. The first session starts in October and wraps up in December. The second session begins in January and finishes at the end of March.  Participants may enter one or both sessions. There are spaces for 48 novices joined by 18 volunteer coaches. Curlers with 1 year or less experience or individuals recently returning to curling after a long break are considered novices for this league. 
 
The first week new curlers learn to deliver stones, and in the following weeks the novices are placed on teams with one volunteer coach. The coaches are arranged in alternating positions of third or skip, so that there is an experienced curler at both ends of the sheet at all times. The teams are shuffled after five games. If registrants request to be kept with a partner they are placed on teams together. Classes start with a 45 minute theory session in the classroom prior to each on-ice game. Topics covered include instructional videos as well as discussions on basic rules, vocabulary, etiquette, scoreboard, sweeping, signals, weight calls, equipment, stone release, team communication, measuring, basic strategy, and many other topics. This program includes a complimentary pair of grippers. It is recommended that new curlers wear a sports helmet that covers the back of the head. 

We limit the each curler to a max of 2 sessions of Learn to Curl. After completing one or more sessions curlers are encouraged to join any league at NCC. If you are looking for the next step, consider the Wednesday Night New Curlers League. It is focused on Newer Curlers, continued learning, a chance to play multiple positions and can be registered as a single or paired with another registrant or team. Also look at Sunday Triples, Friday Rock'n'rocks, Sunday Open, and Friday 4at4. League reps can help you find the right league for you!
