This guide is intended to provide information that will help you quickly feel at ease with the etiquette and basic rules of curling. The Simcoe Curling Club is a member of Curling Ontario, formerly CurlON and previously the Ontario Curling Association (OCA), and complies with its standards and rules.
The Simcoe Curling Club welcomes members who have physical or visual limitations. You may see members using stabilizers, delivery sticks, and other equipment designed to improve their abilities and reduce stress on hips, knees, and other joints. Many club members are happy to offer information and instruction regarding these aids, so please feel free to ask for advice and assistance.
The SCC offers an annual Learn to Curl series for people who are new to the game or who want to review current techniques. In addition to instruction, participants also play in a Learn to Curl league. This program takes place during the first draw, and participants may be able to join a regular league in time for the second draw.

The Curling Calendar is an excellent reference for dates related to curling activities, bonspiels, clinics, draws, and social events throughout the season, along with the names of the club executive.
Curling has often been called a “gentleman’s sport,” much like golf, because the game relies heavily on courtesy, honesty, and respect. Most curling matches are played without referees, and players are expected to monitor themselves and acknowledge their own rule infractions.
