Items for you to bring for your first time curling: Warm, loose-fitting clothes (sweatshirt, sweater, light jacket) Note: Jeans / denim is not recommended. Gloves & an optional hat. Clean sneakers or rubber-soled shoes with warm socks. A good nature and sense of humor with a willingness to try something unique. what kind of shoes are used for curling? If you do not have your own curling shoes, you will need to have a pair of flat-soled, comfortable shoes to wear. We put rubber grippers both shoes so they are less slippery to walk around on the ice. Sneakers work great as long as they are clean, since debris on the ice do affect how rocks travel. Similarly one may ask, what should I wear first time curling? Wear loose fitting pants, sweat pants, track pants, yoga pants, or any pant that stretches. Do not wear jeans or tight pants. Shorts are not recommended especially for new curlers. Wear loose fitting jackets over sweaters so that you have layered clothing.How do you skip curls?The skip determines strategy, and holds the broom in the house (target area) to indicate where a teammate at the other end of the curling sheet (playing area) should aim the stone. The skip usually throws the last two stones in the fourth position, but may play in any other position.
