New Age Kurling Taster Day for Schools:

 

Book a New Age Kurling Taster Experience Day for your School with our KURLINGKIDS Schools Program. A fun and exciting way to learn a new sport and how to play New Age Kurling.

 

A taster day is a great way to get the whole school involved. It’s fun, exciting and children will have a truly memorable sporting experience. Many schools then go on to book a club or PE lessons. You can use the day as a training day for your teachers and purchase your own kit. 

 

Our KURLINGKIDS coach will come to your school and spend 30minutes to 1hour with each class. We teach all the basic skills of Kurling by using fun games and skill challenges. It’s also a great way to link mathematics as children record their scores and compete against their friends. The whole school can get involved from EYRS to YR6, even the teachers will be competitive and get involved.

 

What is New Age Kurling?

Kurling is a form of the original curling game, but adapted so it can be played indoors and on any smooth, flat surface, such as a sports hall, rather than on ice. It is a fully inclusive game allowing people of all abilities to play and have fun. The objective of the game is to get as many stones closer to the centre of the target (a vinyl mat) than your opponent’s stones.

 

New Age Kurling is an excellent target sport and can help children develop various skills such as their eye-hand-target coordination skills, self-esteem and self-confidence. There is a lot of strategy and skill involved and our “KURLINGKIDS” Schools program is packed with fun games and activities to help key stage 1 and 2 children understand how to play.
