Dry-land Curling Simulation System


This system is designed to be used with the USCA / CCA "Curling in the Gym" Program, but can be used in any program that intends to teach the basic skills of curling on a gymnasium or smooth linoleum floor.

The Stone Simulator weighs 30 lbs, and has the heft & feel of a real curling stone.
It allows you to:

- make in-turns and out-turns
- work on your grip / release
- teach correct 10 vs. 2 O'clock delivery
- precision bearings permit long rolling distances to teach "touch"
- perform take-outs, draws, raises and come-arounds…
- kids immediately understand how curling works and will be eager to get on the ice

Price: individual stone $90 (+ $18 shipping, within lower 48 states)
Set of 8 stones (perfect for a real game) $699
(+$125 shipping, within lower 48 states)
*Note, total weight for set of 8 stones exceeds
240 lbs in four 12" x 12" x 12" box

The Land-Slider is a lightweight metal frame that duplicates the slippery feel of a teflon slider on ice. It allows the foot to move in any direction, and has precision bearings to allow long "slides". The wheels can pivot 360-degrees and allow the slide-foot to be in any orientation.

Price: $95 (+ $9 shipping, within lower 48 states)

When used together, these teaching aids allow complete exposure to the subtle nuances of curling before setting foot on the ice. New curlers who have learned on the simulator quickly make the transition to ice and will never look back. Standard curling brooms, broom handles or hockey sticks can be used for balance to achieve the normal on-ice slide position.

A complete curling simulation system for instructing large groups in a gymnasium environment should consist of 1 or 2 Land-Sliders, and a minimum of 8 stones (4 per team, yellow or red handles).

For the more experienced curler, a single Land-Slider and Stone-Simulator will allow you to work on your slide position and stretch out those curling-specific muscles while perfecting your grip & release of the stone.
