CURLING 101

Curling 101 is an initiation to curling program that focusses on the basics of curling in an atmosphere of camaraderie and fun. The course delivered by Lachine Curling Club is based on Curling Canada's program.

The program is held twice per season (Fall & Winter). There are 6 classes of 2 hours each, for a total of 12 hours. The classes will be held on Sundays, from 3:45PM to 5:45PM.

All the required equipment is made available. All you need is a pair of sneakers with clean soles.
