If you’re just starting, you probably have everything you need in your home right now. 

At a minimum, you’ll need :
– Warm clothing (preferably not fleece…it tends to shed debris on the ice)
– A pair of CLEAN running shoes. The cleaner the sole, the less debris is brought out onto the ice surface. Debris on the ice can cause unpredictable stone movement (also known as a “pick”)

You’ll also need to get a “slider” – a slip on device made of plastic or Teflon that allows you to slide on the ice.  These can be found at curling supply or other sporting goods stores. Some clubs have loaners, while others use a special tape that can be applied to the bottom of the sliding shoe.

Most clubs also have “club brooms” that can be used during your initial sessions.

**NOTE: Because of the current public health situation, clubs may not have club brooms or sliders for general use.  Check with your local learn to curl program for more information.

If you can’t use your club’s equipment, our wonderful sponsors, Goldline Curling Supplies, are industry leaders in curling gear!
