    There is. I used goldlinecurling.com (brooms start at about $100 and up too $400) but every club I know of has free brooms and sliders for people to use. A lot of clubs offer free days to try it too, like I said it isn't really popular so they really help you out if you want to try it.

    Thanks MasterShake!!!

    Each team throws 8 rocks alternating per round (called ends). The closest to the middle scores and the more you have closer to the middle the more you score. So you can score many points in each time down the ice or each end. There are 10 ends in a game. You toss a coin at the start of the game, like football. You want last shot. Everytime you score you go first the next end. So if you shoot last you want minimum 2 points or you try to blank the end so no one scores.

    Thanks MasterShake!!!

    they have curling shoes but they are $200 +. I just wear running shoes and a slip on slider when I shoot.
    No, they have people of all ages and athletic abilities playing it.

    Thanks MasterShake!!!

    This year I decided to take up curling, I hadn't really played the sport in my life but I enjoy it on TV and I wanted to try it.
    WOW, I love playing this game. It isn't a hard workout but much more so active then say golfing which I also love. All the plotting and strategy really reminds my of my time playing and coaching football.

    I'm interested to hear if anyone else plays curling or is interested in the sport? I know it isn't that popular but it really is a lot of fun.

    - Good Curling!!!
    my sister in law plays for the NWT champs, they come within a couple wins of going to the Olympics.
    I have thought about playing it a few times but just haven't yet. Seems fun. For those that are knocking it, if you like beer drinking games curling is the epitomy.

    Here's a good stat that will probably answer your question about how many people have played the game from this forum... there are 1.8 million people that curl worldwide, 1.3 of those are from Canada.

    Bocci ball on ice.
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

    curling is more about drinking beer than playing a sport.
