Curling Basics

  • Can be played on an indoor ice surface in a curling rink
  • Curling is a sport based on strategy and
    finesse

How to play the game


A curling match is made up of two teams of four players who launch stones on an ice surface and
get it to stop as close as possible to a target zone.
A team’s strategy is defined as either an offensive game (try to score points) or a defensive game
(try to protect your stones). Teammates can
sweep the ice surface to alter the speed and
direction of the stone. A game is made up of
eight ends of about fifteen minutes each. Each
player will launch 2 stones per end.

Equipment

The curling centre provides the stones, brooms, sliders, and cue sticks. You need to wear warm
loose fitting clothes and a pair of clean, flat, rubber-soled shoes (i.e. running shoes). For your safety, we recommend wearing curling shoes and protective
head gear.
