Why Curling?
Curling is a great team activity for families and companies. The best part about it is that people of all ages and physical or athletic abilities can play together! Our volunteer instructors ensure that anyone who wants to curl can curl and have a blast doing it!
When you sign up for an event your group will learn about the basics of the game, how to play, and then play a partial game. But your group will also learn about strategy, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. It's a fun, unique bonding experience for everyone!
What should I expect?
We provide all of the equipment you'll need to play. Participants should plan to dress in warm, nonrestrictive clothing. Layers are good, blue jeans are not. We request folks bring clean shoes to help keep our ice clean—we provide rubber grippers to go over your shoes so you can walk safer on the ice. The temperature in the ice room is around 40-45 degrees.
Your event will start off the ice with a quick overview about curling and what to know to be safe. We'll then step onto the ice where our friendly instructors will walk participants through activities to learn basic techniques. This often includes small groups learning together. Folks will then reunite in groups of 4 to form a team with up to 8 people playing a partial game together on one sheet ('lane').
We can accommodate up to 40 people and 5 games simultaneously on 5 sheets of ice. Our instructors will provide assistance helping you know what to do throughout your game. Along the way, you'll learn about communications, decision making, and team work. If you're interested in food and drink options, you may coordinate with Baxter Arena to arrange for food and beverages.
How much does it cost?
Individuals wishing to book a private event must contact Baxter Arena to reserve 2 hours of ice time since we do not own the ice rink. Contact Nathan Wendel (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) at Baxter Arena for ice availability. Baxter Arena charges $600 for a two-hour session. Aksarben Curling separately charges $40 per participant with a minimum cost of $500. Private parties must provide an estimated number of participants at least 2 weeks in advance. Aksarben Curling will charge the per person fee based on the estimate and then an additional $40 per person beyond the estimate. Please allow at least 2 weeks advance notice of your private event so we can ensure you have plenty of instructors on hand for your event!
We are an entirely-volunteer run nonprofit organization. Revenue from private curling events helps grow our community-serving programs such as our Youth Leagues and College Leagues and our long-term plans to build a dedicated curling center in the Omaha metro area. Aksarben Curling members volunteer their time to provide instruction.
