Curling on Florida ice is unusual enough to turn heads, and over the years our club has welcomed curious newcomers, photographers, and local media onto the sheets to see the roaring game for themselves.
Why curling in Florida makes a great story
A winter sport played on indoor ice in the Sunshine State is the kind of thing people have to see to believe. Visitors are often surprised by how technical the game is, how welcoming the players are, and how quickly a first-timer can go from sliding their first stone to cheering on a teammate. It is hands-on, photogenic, and genuinely fun to learn, which makes it a natural fit for a feature.

A sport that surprises people
Most people picture curling only once every few years during the Winter Games. Seeing it played live, in Florida, gives newcomers a completely new appreciation for the strategy, the sweeping, and the teamwork behind every end.
-
Hands-on and easy to try
Curling does not demand great speed or strength, so almost anyone can step onto the ice and throw a few stones. That makes for a memorable visit, whether you are writing a story or simply coming to learn the game for the first time.

A welcoming community
The spirit of curling means opponents are treated as friends and newcomers are made to feel at home from their very first session. That friendly culture is a big part of what keeps our members coming back.
