SFBACC is dedicated to building a safe and inclusive center for curling in the Bay Area, and that includes the health of everyone who walks through our doors, too.

SFBACC’s highly recommends that individuals remain up to date with vaccinations against COVID-19. Masking may be required by public health policy and/or SFBACC policy. Participants will be informed about current requirements before their event. Please see our COVID safety policies.

If you have any COVID symptoms please stay home (and stay safe). Contact us if you develop symptoms and need to change your registration.

Keep in mind that ice is cold and curling often involves lots of bending and stretching. We recommend wearing warm, loose-fitting clothes (sweats, yoga pants, track pants) and sneakers with warm socks. Jeans, shorts, skirts, and kilts are strongly discouraged (trust us). 

A cozy hat and gloves are a good idea, too.

Yes, at your discretion. Curling 101 Lessons will be enjoyed by children ready to participate in a 2-3 hour class including off-ice instruction, discussion of strategy, and physical exercises. Keep in mind that curling stones weigh around 42lbs (we may have 20 lb “little rocks” for littler curlers available).

Younger children may better enjoy our Learn to Curl events, where they just need to be old enough to stand and run.

If your children are eager to continue curling, you’ve come to the right place. Our club is proud to have launched the first Junior curling program in California. Our juniors program supports youth curlers of all ages, from elementary through high school, with recreational options and competitive coaching and training.

Curling can be enjoyed by people of all physical and mental abilities. Our new center is fully ADA accessible (the ice too) and our instructors can adapt curling techniques for a wide range of abilities, including delivering curling stones with a stick device. If you have any other questions, please contact us.

All you need to know is that you want to give curling a try. Curling is full of weird terms and unique strategy—you’ll learn everything you need to know before you get on the ice for the first time.

You’ll be in good company—many of our members got their start through similar lessons.

Your next stop on your curling journey will be to become a member of our club. We offer a range of league and programmatic options for our members, from more social leagues to more competitive leagues for advanced (and aspiring) curlers. Learn more about our leagues.

You sure can. We have options to book private events where your guests can experience curling, from a unique team-building day for your company to an unforgettable birthday party. You can book one sheet or the whole club. Learn more about booking a private event.

You bet. We offer shorter, one-time lessons where our instructors show you all the basics to try delivering a stone and sweeping for the first time. You won’t learn strategy, game-play etiquette, or drills for improving your technique, but you will get to try curling for the first time to see if you want to do more. Check out our Learn to Curl events and register for an upcoming date.
