lifetime Curling Program
We’re excited to announce new curling programs for all ages! More info coming soon!
Curling is a sport in which age, size, gender, strength, and speed are of no particular advantage. The helpful skills are balance, mental focus, and “touch”. Curling is also a very civilized game with a strong tradition of etiquette, consideration, and courtesy toward your opponents.
In the winter of 2022/2023, Rutland Rocks Curling Club launched a Youth Curling Program with four goals:
● Introduce young people to curling as a recreational winter sport
● Have fun while promoting a healthy, active lifestyle
● Provide a venue for organized games between young curlers
● Develop the basis for a lifetime of sport and fair play
The initial program was geared toward children 11-14 years old. Rutland Rocks’ program will expand to meet the needs of a growing community of young curlers, depending on ice time availability.
This inaugural youth program is in collaboration with the Rutland City School System and its highly successful lifetime sports initiative. Curling is a great way to meet people and make friends while learning a sport you can play for a lifetime.
Beginning in 2024/2025, Rutland Rocks plans to expand further to include special programs for senior citizens and adaptive curling for all abilities. Stay tuned for more information—coming soon!
