Welcome to the New Poynette Curling Club Website!
Curling is a rapidly growing sport in the United States and around the world. The sport has gained a significant following during the past two Winter Olympic Games, leading television ratings for all Winter Olympic sports. In February 2006, the US Curling Association web site received 100 million hits, with a record 12.5 million on February 16. Curling was the third-most searched topic on search engines during the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Contrast that popularity with curling in Poynette. The Poynette Curling Club keeps the residents of Poynette, Wisconsin (population 2,266) busy during the winter months. The tradition is believed to have started in our area during the 1840′s when local curlers used wooden curling blocks on the nearby Wisconsin River.
We’ve since moved indoors.
Curling is a great fall, winter, and spring activity that organizes communities in many ways. More so than in many team sports, good sportsmanship is an integral part of curling. The sport is equally strategic and social. Everybody involved in the Poynette Curling Club welcomes newcomers to the game. Contact any of the club members mentioned on this site if you are interested in trying curling.
