It is considered a great way of socialization, but more importantly, it is a sport for everyone.
It is one of the few sports that can be played regardless of age, sex, and physical condition.
For example, it can be played by younger people even though the stones weigh 20kg each.
Junior stones weigh only half that of the original curling stones while looking the same.
It can also be enjoyed by older people.
In stick curling, players can use a stick, which is a tool they use so that they do not have to bend down.
Furthermore, many clubs are wheelchair accessible, so disabled people can also enjoy curling.
