essential equipment for introducing new players to curling
With a successful application for Lottery Funding, the club bought equipment to help new players learn to play quickly and easily to allow them to enjoy the game right from the start. We bought two slider soles to allow sliding delivery using normal sports footware and two crutches for extra support in sliding to deliver stones. The crutch makes it easier to keep the player balanced and also to slide in the required direction. After a session of practice, new players can quickly join in games to develop their skills.
Maek in the pictures here shows the equipment and how they are used. He played in the club's closing bonspiel with only basic instructions. Such is the ease with which these items can be used. |
