About Getting Started in Curling

Curling and physical activity in general have been shown to have a developmentally positive impact on participants, encouraging better states of health, happiness, and academic achievement. To promote these benefits among young Canadians, the Canadian Curling Association has developed Getting Started in Curling.

This exciting program teaches school kids the fundamentals and skills needed to enjoy curling. It is a three-month program, with the first two months of learning taking place in the gym and classroom, and the final segment being held in a curling club. The program is geared towards Grade 6 students, aiming to get youth interested and participating in curling. By introducing a young demographic to the fun and challenging sport, we hope to nurture more attentive students and to initiate what will turn into a lifelong passion.

About the Capital One Rocks & Rings Program

This program is designed to introduce the Olympic sport of curling to elementary school children. By bringing the curling rink to the school gym we reach children that would otherwise not have access to the roaring game.

The best part? We bring everything to the kids – no field trip or school buses required! Curling is a highly social sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. It is a fantastic physical activity that can be enjoyed by all ages and abilities. It also promotes sportsmanship and camaraderie and is an inexpensive and less dangerous alternative to many other sports.

Every class participating in the Rocks & Rings Program will receive a complimentary Teacher’s Resource Guide
