Description
Adaptive curling consists of pushing granite stones down a sheet of ice from a standing or sitting (wheelchair) position using a “pusher” stick. “Stick” curling allows all people, regardless of physical ability and age, to experience the excitement and fun of the sport of curling.

The Adaptive Curling classes will be tailored to fit the ability of each participant so that no one needs to be hesitant to register.

Class sizes are limited to 16 people.
Non-participants are invited to attend to observe and learn about the sport of adaptive curling. You do not need to register to observe.
