York Curling Club offers a variety of house and competitive leagues to give curlers of any age an opportunity to participate at your skill level.

This summer (2010) we are expanding from 4 curling sheets to 6 curling sheets and will have the opportunity to significantly expand our membership.

We're always looking for new curlers to join our club. We provide lots of help and support as people learn to play the game. YCC also offers a relaxed social environment where you'll make lots of new friends.

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 track suits, sweaters, etc. It's good 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. We also have slip-on sliders that you can use instead of tape or you can purchase your own slider.
Loaner brooms or brushes are available at the club for new curlers. Most curlers purchase their own brush during their first season.
Most curlers wear gloves to keep their hands warm and to provide protection when sweeping.
