New Curlers
Bradford Curling Club offers a variety of house and
competitive leagues to give curlers of any age an
opportunity to participate at your skill level.
We're always looking for new curlers to join our club. Lots
of help and support is provided as people learn to play the
game. Bradford Curling Club also offers a relaxed social
environment where you'll make lots of new friends.
We
encourage all new curlers to come out to our start of season
clinic. We'll cover the basics of the game, safety and
etiquette to get you started. For more information, please

Curling Equipment
Curling is a sport that doesn't require a lot of
expensive equipment. Here's what you'll need to
start:
-
Warm and comfortable clothing. Special
curling clothing can be purchased but many
curlers wear light snow pants, track suits, sweaters,
jackets, etc. It's
a good idea to have layers so you can adjust as needed.
-
Curling shoes can also be purchased but
for new curlers you can start with a clean pair
of running shoes (reserved only for curling so
you don't bring any dirt onto the ice surface).
We put clear tape on your slider foot. You can purchase your own slider
from the pro shop.
-
Loaner brooms are available at
the club for new curlers. Most curlers purchase
their own broom during their first season.
-
Most curlers wear gloves to keep their
hands warm and provide protection when
sweeping.
