Have you ever played in a curling match on ice, today you will experience it. Sweeping makes the stone go faster. Curling is best played on ice.Today, I will write about the sweeping and the equipment. Ardsley curling club is really fun. If you are into curling you should go.It is the only curling club in westescher.

Sweeping is a very important position in curling. You always want to be in front of the delivery. The delivery is when the person slides the stone. You always sweep in front of the stone. If you sweep the ice will get level, sweeping makes the stone go faster. If it is a slow delivery, you should sweep and the stone will go faster. You can not hit the broom with the stone.  It is illegal and against the rules. You also have to be careful because if someone is doing the delivery you have to be ready. My friend Noah was tying his shoe on the ice and the stone was sliding. I told him,” Noah got up”. He could not run on the ice because it’s not safe so he had to get off the ice. So our skip, our extra sweeper, came and helped me. On our next turn, Noah slid the stone slowly. Jason, Andrew, and I were screaming our heads off because the stone was sliding into the house.  We were celebrating. Noah, the one that did the delivery, told us nice sweeping. We won the game on that shot. Sweepers do actually impact the game a lot.

You know soccer has equipment so by curling you will learn about the equipment. You need gloves. You need gloves because you might get frostbite.  If you get frostbite you are not going to do the delivery well. That will cast the game. You need a broom because you have swept the ice. Sweeping makes the ice level. The stone faster. You also want footwear because the ice is very slippery. So you would want a gripper under your foot. You also need shoes with no bumps on them or you will slip. You also need a coat because you will get cold. In the Ardsley Curling club it was warm and the ice did not melt. The ring was a little small for my expectations

So now you know about sweeping and equipment. Now you know this knowledge you should feel confident, and try curling.
