This is what is GREAT about Curling:
- Social Sport: Curling is a very social activity, both on the ice and in the clubhouse after the game. Weekly league play and countless special activities during the season give club members the opportunity to meet many people and make new friends.
- Manageable Exercise: Curling is as much exercise as you want it to be. It can be a way to develop and maintain your flexibility or it can be a great physical workout ... It's your choice! A number of our curlers use a stick for delivery rather than sliding out from the hack thus avoiding all that bending.
- No Age Limitations: Children can begin curling when they are as young as 10 years old. At the other end of the spectrum, TCC has active members beyond 80 years of age! Curling is an activity that you can enjoy for your entire life ... It's never too late to start curling!
- Easy to Learn: It takes about an hour of instruction and practice for most people to become comfortable "on the ice".
