No it isnt.\n\nBut we do play Lawn Bowls wich is about as close as you can get to Curling without having ice or sweepers.  \n\nTo see Lawn Bowels played try to catch it on broadcasts of the upcoming Commonwealth games mid MARCH from Melbourne.

Is curling really a sport?  I thought you had to sweat in the matches to be a sport.

before you ask about curling you should ask about chess. Yes they are both sports... and to be honest if you dont know the rules or you arent playing they turn out to be the most boring sports ever

wow I am probably the only person on yahoo that can answer your question. Anyway I live in cranbrook and I know that there is one public squash court. It is in the cranbrook rec plex (where the kootenay ice play) It is on the back side of the building and it has an open window. Where are you planning to move to in the kootenays? I hope this helps :) it probably will...

It is generally agreed that curling originated in my beloved Scotland.  An actual stone was discovered in recent years with the date 1511 etched into it.

The quick answer- The Game is played between two four-member teams who use stones with different colored handles. Each game consists of ten ends, which are similar to innings in baseball. During an end, each team member alternates throwing stones toward a circular target area, called the house, the center of which is approximately 93 feet away. Only one team scores points per end. The team with their stones closest to the center of the target area, called the button, gets one point for each stone between the button and the opposing teams nearest stone. After each end is completed, play is switched to the house at the other end of the sheet. \n\n===============\nRules of Curling \nThe following link will take you to informative websites with in-depth discussions on the rules of curling:\n\nCurling Rules - World and Canadian curling rules, including animated descriptions of various curling techniques \n\nCurling Fundamentals - Simple discussions of curling fundamentals for delivery, sweeping, and strategy. \n \nhttp://www.curldc.org/about/rules.php

It's like chess. Easy to learn, but not so easy to master. Getting used to sliding on the ice and learning to sweep are the hardest parts. Just finished my first year. Very addicting once you try it. If you are interested in finding a place to curl next season, try the USA Curling website. If you're not in the US, there's a link on the website to the International Curling Federation that may be able to help you find your national association.

We have soccer,  Australian rules and rugby league.\nAussie rules is really popular in Melbourne.\nThe rest of the country is more into rugby league which is an excellent game. \nIt's a bit like american football, minus the padding.\nAussie blokes dont need it and play like men.\nBlues in game 3 for sure......
