Our Club

The Kansas City Curling Club is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 Not-for-Profit Organization. Our club coordinates curling activities for people of all ages by offering instruction, training, practice and league play by providing equipment and ice rentals. This foundation gives our curlers the means to become competitive athletes on the regional, national and international stage. Locally, the club hosts an annual bonspiel (curling tournament) much like most curling clubs do when we travel to them. This event has attracted curlers from all corners of the United States (i.e. Seattle, New York, Texas), as well as several Canadian teams from Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.

Having maintained a more than 10 year continuous track record of programs, our current longer-term goal is to build a dedicated curling facility taking our 501(c)3 organization to the next level. This curling facility will allow us to expand curling to 7 days a week as well as expand programs to differing groups and levels of experience of various junior, high-school, university, adult, and senior leagues, among others. This would make our club the only dedicated ice curling facility within a 350 mile radius.

In order to help us achieve our goal of a dedicated curling facility, we would greatly appreciate any financial support to curling in Kansas City you can provide. All donations are tax deductible.

Most importantly, we want you to give this sport a try. We hope to see you on the ice!

We first curled at the Ice Chateau in Overland Park for one year before the club moved to Crown Center Ice Terrace. There, the ice sheet was smaller in size , in curling outdoors, it gave members a sense of what curling may have been like some 400 years ago. Despite building interest in the club, loss of good ice times plus inconsistent weather made curling unreliable and difficult to build membership. In 1995, finding no financial alternatives we stopped curling.

In 2003, a few members seeing the recent successes of new clubs in Texas and Florida due to Olympic Fever, decided to reconstitute the club at the new built facility in southern Overland Park, (Pepsi Ice Midwest), then renewed their aged equipment with generous donations within the club and borrowing one set of stones from the Aksarben Curling Club in Omaha, Nebraska.

In 2011 Pepsi Ice Midwest closed, and the club moved to Line Creek Community Center. Here the ice, lighting, sound have proven to be better in many ways and the staff continues to make us feel welcome. Regardless, of our future, we have found this rink a great place to continue to grow our club.

As we look to the future, our building committee has explored many building options and considered a number of potential sites as either a lease or buy solution.  We  feel that a solution is within our grasp and hope to present it to the public once we reach that point.
