If you have completed one of our Learn to Curl classes or you have curling experience from another club you are eligible for Rutland Rocks Curling Club membership.  

How to Get Started 

New members and novice curlers are encouraged to jump right in play. Your experienced teammates in your league will welcome you into the club and help you learn the game. Our members are passionate about curling and are eager to share and help new players improve their skill and understanding of the game. Novice curlers will be placed on teams with seasoned curlers. You will always find someone willing to help you and answer any questions or provide advice and guidance. 

Leagues

We have two league sessions that meet weekly from November to February. Fall league runs November to December and meets on Wednesday nights. Winter session runs January-February, and consists of two leagues. The first league meets on Sundays; the second league meets on Wednesdays. The leagues are open to both women and men of any experience.

Open Curling

Sundays during the months of November and December are open curling. It’s our version of a pick up game. This is a great time for new curlers to get on the ice and get a feel for the game. No glory is up for grabs during this session, which makes for a good time to practice skills and learn about strategy.
