My friends, family and I recently completed Learn to Curl and loved it!  We want to continue to work on our skills and play a few ends. 

How do I book ice for curling? 

OAK Arena has reserved prime ice time for a Curling Game Play on Sunday nights from 5:00pm - 7:00pm.  Curling Game Play is for curlers who have completed Learn to Curl and are looking to play a few ends, as well as sharpen their skills.  The cost is $10 per person and includes two hours of ice time and equipment usage.

The Monical's Pizza-OAK Arena Curling Club League will resume play this fall!  League play is for curlers who have completed Learn to Curl  or who have curling league experience.  You may register as a team, pairs, or as an individual.  Look for Fall League dates later this summer!  For more information about the Monical’s Pizza - OAK Arena Curling Club League, call (815) 939-1946. 

I am interested in bringing my group out for an evening.

Would curling be an option for us?

Curling is a great way to improve teamwork and boost morale in a fun  and different atmosphere!  Many companies and organizations have found curling to be successful in three key areas:  team building, strategy skills, and recreational fun, much like a golf outing.  A business or group event consists of two hours of on & off ice instruction and play.  We will tailor your curling event to meet your needs and will supply all of the necessary curling equipment.  Costs starts at just $20.00 per person!  For available dates and times, call OAK Arena at (815) 939-1946.

I, like so many others, watched curling during the Olympics and am thrilled to have a chance to try it.

Is it any easier or harder than it looks on TV?

Although often compared to bowling, curling is more similar to shuffleboard or chess, with players needing to use precision placement and strategy.  It is a game that requires balance, flexibility, and control.  Players may walk as much as 2 miles during a regular match!  That being said, curling is a sport for all ages, from 8 to 80 and beyond, and is played by both men and women.  People of all ages and ability levels are encouraged to play.  Currently, OAK Arena offers Learn to Curl for ages 13 & up, but hope in time to offer “Little Rock” curling for ages 12 & under.  All participants under the age of 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
