Stick Curling is a relatively new sport which provides activity, excitement and challenge for people of all ages on a recreational or competitive basis, and in a social atmosphere. Stick Curling is very appropriate for those with physical disabilities (knee, back, heart, shoulder, arm, hip, feet or simply advanced age).

The stones are delivered with a curling stick from a standing, moving or sitting position (wheelchair).

People who cannot manage the more complex, athletic slide delivery can stick curl. Stick curling has no gender or age restrictions, men and women of all ages can do equally well. The game provides a good mix of people and results in great camaraderie for all involved.


Stick curling not only keeps members curling longer, it also attracts some who have never taken up the regular game. The game gets people off the couch, provides both a physical and mental challenge, and provides a forum for mingling and having fun.

A team consists of only two people and each player delivers six stones per end against his opponent, for a total of eighteen stones. Games usually last only six ends, less than one hour, so there is not time to get cold or bored. There is no sweeping/brushing between the hoglines. Both players are always busy, one is skipping and the other is delivering.

Stick curlers are not restricted to playing only in a league of stick players / teams, you can also curl in regular club activities with the other club members. At the Truro Curliing Club, the Stick League plays two draws  on Thursday afternoons at 1245pm and 200pm. In addition, we have some fun bonspiels during the season , and many players participate in evening play at the Club.
