Curling Season Winds Down

Curling season is winding down. Club members have one last chance to play on Saturday, April 10 and Sunday, April 11 in our End-of-Season Clubspiel. This will be followed by our Annual Meeting and Banquet on Sunday, April 11. The ice will be melted out in April and reinstalled in October.

During the curling season, he Black Swamp Curling Center and The 9th End Bar are open from 6 to 10pm on Mondays through Fridays and from 1 to 10pm on Sundays. The bar is open to the public, and you are welcome to watch us curl. (Note that there is no "drop-in curling." If you would like to try curling, see the options below.) In the off-season, The 9th End Bar opens weekly on Thirsty Thursday from 6 to 10pm.

At the Black Swamp Curling Center, we offer many programs for anyone to get involved with curling.

To learn more about any of these items, you can click the colored squares below.

Learn-to-Curl -  Most people start with a Learn-to-Curl session. We are always adding new sessions as ice time allows so check back often. We also sell Learn-to-Curl gift certificates. Just stop by anytime we are open to purchase them at the bar. There will be multiple Learn-to-Curls scheduled in October.

Starter Leagues - Starter Leagues are a typical next step for those who want to learn more. Our next 6-week Starter League begins in early November 2021.

Leagues - New curlers are welcome to join regular leagues even if they have not completed a Starter League. If you would like to join a league, contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Bonspiels - The Black Swamp Curling Center hosts several bonspiels each year. They are loads of fun even if you just want to come out and watch.

Youth - We have a youth program. More information will be coming soon. 

Rentals - In addition, we offer rentals for large groups and company outings. To learn more about those, contact our event coordinator at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

ALSO... Spectators are always welcome! And if there is curling, our bar, The 9th End, will also be open to serve your refreshment needs with a good collection of beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks.

Hope to see you all on the ice!

Covid-19 Precautions

The health and safety of our club members and visitors has always been our priority, even more so now with the recent pandemic.  Your Operations Committee and the Board have collaborated to ensure a safe environment for our events.  We are following guidelines from the State of Ohio and recommendations from the United States Curling Association. It is the responsibility of all club members and guests to comply with these guidelines.

What you can expect from us: 

• We have a team of dedicated club members who will be bartending. They are committed to health screenings, increased hand washing, increased sanitizing of the bar and glassware, and wearing a mask while serving.
• The warm room has been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
• There is a list of the bartender protocols posted at the bar.
• The bar and warm room have been reconfigured to comply with social distancing guidelines.

What we ask of you: 

• If you feel ill, do not visit the club.
• We are currently limiting our capacity to 75 people or less.
• Please observe social distancing. Where a table would normally seat 8, limit the capacity to 4 or less people.
• Avoid handshakes or hugs (Curlers are huggers!) during this time.
• Except when actively eating or drinking, you are required to wear a mask while visiting, per order of Governor DeWine on July 22, 2020.

All the above is subject to change in accordance to the CDC and governor of Ohio.
