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.

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.

It's pretty common to know you might miss some dates because of travel or other reasons. You have several options!

If you're just going to miss a few games, you can find a spare to play for you. There's a #spare-requests channel in our member slack space, you can email folks who sign up to spare for that league through our website, or ask around! Your teammates will also be happy to help.

Need to miss more than a few games for any reason? You can also split a league with another person. You can decide between yourselves which dates you'll play. To split a space in a league, one of you should register for the league and indicate who you're splitting with in the notes field during registration and we'll follow up.

One more option. If you have a team of four you'd like to play with, you can create a 5th position on your team. Then you can decide a rotation for play amongst yourselves. To add a 5th player to your team, your team should register for four spots in the league and indicate you'd like to add a 5th player in the notes field during registration so we can follow up. Need help finding a split partner? Post in member slack (the #team-talk channel is a good place) or send us a note

Yes, our club is not far from the Coliseum BART station and a bus connects to the club. Many members take BART to and from the club.  It's easy to get a ride back to the station after a game, just ask in the warm room. And you can coordinate with other folks riding BART, your teammates, and other members in your league for a pickup from the station before a game — post in member slack (the #carpooling channel or the channel for your league are the best places to start).
