Absolutely not! Most new curlers who join our club actually start playing as individuals, and we easily team them up with some of our more experienced curlers, who are more than willing to help new curlers improve their game. In fact, playing alongside experienced curlers is the best way to learn and improve your skills, and also allows you to meet other curlers in our club. We of course also welcome new teams composed of friends, associates, etc, if that is what you prefer, although we recommend playing with experienced curlers now and then, which will dramatically help to improve your skills.
