CLUB NEWS
Heart of Texas Figure Skating Club will be hosting a USFS test session this weekend allowing
skaters the opportunity to advance toward Gold Medalist status in the sport.
Curling
The Curl Austin Olympic season is winding down. We taught over 1500 people to curl in the last couple of months, and it was fabulous to introduce so many people to the sport of curling. The corporate and private events, though, are not slowing down. April is looking to be our busiest month yet, and now is a great time to come curl with a group of friends or throw a team building party for your office. Reach out to info@curlaustin.com to schedule your events, or join a Learn to Curl at curlaustin.com.

The Lone Star Curling Club has seen tremendous growth in the last 2-3 months. The Olympics are always a great boon for any curling club, and this year was no exception. We continue to sell out our beginner leagues and another is starting in a couple of weeks. You can find a league to match your schedule at lonestarcurlingclub.org. And don't forget, if you are curling in a league with us, your practice time is free!
