Curling is a unique sport that requires both skill and strategy.  It is often referred to as chess on ice.  It is a lifelong sport that can be learned at any age.  Whether playing in a fun league or a competitive ladder the emphasis is always on sportsmanship and fair play.  Being a social sport by nature, it is not uncommon for teams to socialize off the ice where lasting friendships are often made. 

The Kincardine Curling Club is committed to the development and continued growth of the fantastic sport of Curling....and we want to teach you how to play this great Canadian sport!
