Curling can be played by children as young as 10 years and by men and women into their 80's. It provides moderate and beneficial exercise to all. At Chicago Curling Club , we have men's leagues, women's leagues, mixed leagues and our Sunday Youth League. Women may choose to curl during the day or at 6 pm on Monday or Thursday. Mixed leagues curl on the weekends.
Leagues form up every few weeks and continue throughout the winter season.
In addition to leagues, there are many club events. These include special inter-club Bonspiels , as well as Bonspiels at or with other local, national and international clubs. Bonspiel is from the Dutch for Good League and is a weekend curling tournament. At our club we offer men's, women's and mixed events that can last from only one night to 3 days and often include great food, great music, mediocre dancing and of course more Broom Stacking . Road trips to compete against other clubs occur throughout the winter and, for the adventurous, into the summer.
