What to Bring

Your questions and interest in improving your curling skills and knowledge to have even more fun on the ice. Wear warm, comfortable loose-fitting clothing to curl. Layers are best, as we will have instruction time time both on the ice and in the warmroom. Bring curling shoes or clean, rubber-soled footwear, such as sneakers, to change into. Curling equipment will be available for your use.

For more information, contact Kirk Wallace or Becky Trousil through the club directory.

Corporate Team Building and Private Outings

Schenectady Curling Club can host a private event for your business, organization, or any other group.

Many of our events are team building exercises. A curling outing:

Improves morale and leadership skills and the ability to problem solve.
Clearly defines objectives and goals; improves organizational productivity.
Provides a positive yet competitive spirit, encouraging all to get involved.
Provides a degree of risk-taking in an unfamiliar setting, sets a common goal and produces a sense of achievement.
Builds communication skills, individual cooperation, trust and appreciation of teammates.
Last but not least - everyone has a LOT of FUN!

Ice Reservation

Welcome! To reserve ice time:

Check the Club Calendar first to see if the time you want is available.
Fill out the form below and click "Submit"
..that's it, you're booked! There's no "approval" process. The event will appear on the calendar in a half-hour or so.

If you need to remove a reservation, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Any member with ice privileges can reserve ice during any open time -- to practice, to play a make-up game, or to introduce someone new to the sport. However, it is your responsibility to make sure you can enter the building (find someone with a key), that you can prepare the ice (pebble and nip), and that you have at least one other person present while you are on the ice in case of an accident. If you are a new curler, ask other club members - many are happy to get some practice time!
