New to Curling?

Thinking of trying the sport of curling?

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 in 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.


When are games played?

The curling season at the Oakville Curling Club runs from October to April. Youth leagues run on weekends while adults leagues run on weekdays, weeknights and weekends. See our League page for full details.


Do I need to be part of a team to join the club?

You do not need to be part of a team to join the club. You can register for leagues as an individual and the league convenor will work to place you on an appropriate team.


What leagues are right for me?

We offer leagues for all skill levels and interests. Ladder leagues provide a competitive environment for teams of all abilities.

Can I try before committing to a full season?
