Hi all curlers,
We hope that you are enjoying this weather!
Lanarkshire Ice Rink has formed a new Curling Development Group. This group is proposing to establish a new format stick curling league to add to our existing curling and we'd like to invite you along to try out this different format.
Who is it aimed at?
EVERYONE!!
There is no limit to who can play. No-one is too young or too old!
Anyone at any age or physical condition may choose to try this format.
The use of a curling delivery stick is an alternative delivery method for players who may have issues with the traditional curling slide.
Some people will transition to using a stick when they’ve sustained an injury or their flexibility is reduced.
How is it played?
It involves only 4 curlers, two curlers alternate delivering six stones each per end, while their teammates skip that end.
Then the roles are reversed.
No sweeping until it crosses the tee line.
All games are six ends. 1 hour session.
Each stone must be delivered with a delivery stick, from a standing or sitting (in a wheelchair) position.
A taster session with coaching to try out this new format prior to establishing this new league is planned for the start of the new season in October.

Cost is £12 per person per game
