Dear KMCC Members:

The club is reopening for league play! Beer and soda are also open, effective immediately. The first league games will begin next Wednesday, January 13 (Men’s 3x3 league of Biersach players). All league chairs should contact their respective leagues’ skips immediately to determine the number of returning players, and get that information to Herb Rasmussen as soon as possible. League chairs are listed at the end of this communication.

Our policies for reopening are as follows:

 -Face coverings will be required on and off the ice (we will reevaluate this policy at the February board meeting).
-Social distancing will be required throughout the club house.
-Beer and soda can be consumed in the club house so long as social distancing is maintained.
-The lockers will continue to remain open.
-The kitchen will remain closed. 
-We are scheduling games to have no more than 24 people on the ice at a time.

We truly thank our members for their patience this year as we continue to navigate these unchartered waters. Needless to say, it has been a challenge to strike the right balance between ensuring the safety of our members (which is our most important objective) and providing for the club experience that we all desire. We believe our approach for the second session will do just that.

Following are the league chairpersons who should contact their leagues’ skips to get the returning curler head-count to Herb:

Monday Mens                 Jim Lucchesi                  
Tuesday Womens           Jane Lee                           
Wednesday 3 on 3          Herb Rasmussen            
Thursday am Womens   Rondi    Feil                     
Thursday TATT                Rick Baldry                      
Thursday PM                    open                                
Friday-mixed                   Craig Heinze                     
Saturday                           Phyllis Kirchner                
Sunday Doubles              Neil Feil                             
Sunday 5 and under       Raine                 

If there are any questions, please contact me or any other board member. Looking forward to seeing you at the club this second session.

Return to Curling Updates and Resources

 Curling originated in Scotland in the early 16th century.  The oldest stone on record has a date of 1511 inscribed on it.  Please take a few minutes to check out the videos below.  The first was produced in 1966 for the United States Men's Curling Association and found again just last summer.  The second is a video highlighting the best curling shots in 2019.

Curling games begin and end with a handshake and greetings of "Good Curling" between each of the competitors.
In most sports the rules are enforced by referees or umpires, who impose penalties and legislate fair play. Breaking a rule often doesn't matter unless the officials see it, and good sportsmanship doesn't seem very important to many of the athletes.  The sport of curling is completely different. Except for certain national events, we don't have referees or umpires. The curling rules are enforced by the competitors themselves, and breaking a rule is a big deal even if no one else sees it.
