There is a bulls-eye and you're trying to put your stone in the middle of it, closer than your opponent's.

well, in my first year, i shot low, like goal shots, my coach put a goal in front of my face and made me pass to him above the goal, it worked! it was to same case with catching. also, compete withur friend for scooping, have your coach throw the ball out, and whoever scoops it first doesn't have to take a lap.  hope i help!!

Bowling isn't a common enough sport? Come on....pluh-eez. \n\nIf they have a category for curling for crying out loud, they should have a category for bowling. I've always thought that was ridiculous.

Well first a cannon ball is basically a hard ball, for that try to hit it just in the middle, and put some direction to where you want your ball to go.\n\nThen the curling, you can apply it by hitting the ball with the interior part of the shoe creating a spin and giving some direction, as more to the edge you hit it, the hit would go perfect.\n\nIf you don't know some terms ill help you with that too.\n\nInterior Part: The part that faces the other shoe, this part is usually used to give short passes, because you can calculate the precision and the strenght\n\nSpin: hitting the ball so it makes a curve, it depends to where do you want to shoot, and which leg you are using.\n\nCannon Ball: Very hard ball, that usually doesn't have any effect(curling ball, loose-speed ball, backward ball, and some others) this is mostly use for hits that want to have a fixed direction.\n\nCurled Ball: Is referred to the ball that has some effect  that when you kick it, doesn't finish in the same side the ball is suppose to go. The ball has a shape of a curve in the air.

Curling is huge in Canada.  Have you ever done it? \n\nDo you know how much a rock (curling stone) weighs? \n\nIt is a lot of work, to get that rock to go to the other end of the ice...and sweeping on the ice assists it. \n\nThere are 4 people..the Skip, Vice, Second & Lead, and they all have crucial roles to play. \n\nYou need to have the right strength, and know the ice surface, and have the right turn to make the rock go the direction you like.  You need to be quick to make sure you keep up with the rock, and as you approach the house (the circle), you need to be very careful you don't burn (touch) any of the rocks.  \n\nIt is a sport. \nTrust me, it is a lot harder than it looks.  Unless you have played...you shouldn't judge.  If they have made it look easy, it is because they are good....and deserve to be there.

See what we Americans have been missing. I wonder if Curling will become more mainstream now as it is in Canada! It is a fascinating concept not only because of the skill, but because of the physics of it as well! lol.....and not to mention the men like the girls that are easy on the eyes. lol :P

A curling game is made up of 8 or 10 ends (like innings).  The curling team consists of four players.  Curling teams are traditionally identified by the last name of the team "Skip"" (the captain).  An end consists of each team member shooting (delivering) two rocks (curling stones), alternating with the team members of the competing team.\n\nA 12-foot circle (the house) is the scoring area.  For each stone closer to the center of the circles than any of the opponent's stones, one point is scored.  The team scoring shoots first in the next end, giving the opponent the "hammer", or last shot of that end.  The sheet of ice (playing surface) is 15'71/2" wide and 146 feet long, set up to accommodate play in both directions.\n\nAll four players shoot two rocks, beginning with the "Lead" player.  The "Second" shoots next followed by the "Vice Skip"." The Skip shoots the last rocks and directs the play of the others." The skip decides on shot selection and signals the players." The shooter must be accurate in aim, weight (velocity in delivery) and giving the rock the correct "handle" (or curl).\n\nEach running stone curls (curves) as it proceeds down the ice depending on the twist it was given during delivery.  The curl allows for better control of the stone.  Team members sprint along the path of the stone and sweep with curling brooms to control the curl and the speed.  Sweeping slightly melts the ice, which reduces the friction between the running stone and the ice surface.  The result is the stone will curl less and slide farther.

It is generally agreed that curling was developed in Scotland in the 16th century. Scottish farmers curled on frozen marshes using "channel stones," which were naturally smoothed by the water's action. The principles of the game were similar to the modern game, although there were many differences in rules and equipment.

Unfortunately the World Championships are over (Scotland took the gold) but you could have watched the round robin matches for Canada on Curl TV's website (www.curltv.com). You can see highlights of the entire event on ESPN2 April 16 from 3:00 - 5:00

I have taught hundreds of people how to curl and the most common response after playing is "that was lot more difficult than it looks".  Most leave with a greater appreciation and respect for the sport, some can't get enough and become life long members.\n\nThose who don't get, means there are less people to challenge you in reaching ones Olympic Dreams.  \n\n"if it is easy, why do it"

The game was probably invented in late medieval Scotland, with the first written reference to a contest using stones on ice coming from the records of Paisley Abbey, Renfrewshire, in February, 1541. Two paintings (both dated 1565 [1]) by Pieter Brueghel the Elder depict Dutch peasants curling (Scotland and the Low Countries had strong trading and cultural links during this period, which is also evident in the history of golf).\n\nThe word curling first appears in print in 1620 in Perth, Scotland, in the preface and the verses of a poem by Henry Adamson.
