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.

You most certainly can. Children are welcome at our Learn to Curl events—a good rule of thumb is they should be old enough to stand and run. Keep in mind that curling stones weigh around 42lbs (we may have 20 lb “little rocks” for littler curlers available).

And if your children want to continue curling after the event, 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—most of our members got their start at a Learn to Curl event. 

We offer a special introductory series of classes taught by United States Curling Association certified instructors (schedule depending), as well as a range of league and programmatic options for curlers at all levels, 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 group 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 group event.

No problem. Purchases for Learn to Curl events are transferable. Just send us an email and we'll reschedule you for another date. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds.
