Friendlies are a chance for club members to go to a one-day event at a nearby club. It’s a time to enjoy a day of curling on dedicated ice and to make new friends.
These events are open to everyone, from beginner to advanced curler, and typically consists of two to three short games, each followed by broomstacking.
You can sign up as a team or as an individual and we will form a team for you.
Host clubs usually have basic sliders, stabilizers and brooms to borrow if you do not have your own, but check with a Cedar Rapids Curling officer if you have concerns.
The cost varies by event.

St. Louis, Waltham, and Cedar Rapids Curling Clubs are working together to create an All-American Event to help women curlers. This would be a one day event with pins provided by the USWCA. The plan currently has two teams from each of Cedar Rapids, St Louis, and our gracious hosts Waltham. The cost will be $20 to cover the ice, breakfast and lunch and beer. This event is aimed at women curlers. Our USWCA rep, Helen Bryce, is organizing this event and please let her know if you are interested in attending.
Waltham is "doable" in one day, as a drive there, curl, drive back. It would be super if we could fill both Cedar Rapids teams with female curlers. You don't need to have ever been to a bonspiel before or even been on dedicated ice before. It should be a fun day with some of our nearest curling neighbors!
