Schenectady Curling Club

Curling started in Schenectady in 1907. R.S. Emmet, a charter member of the Mohawk Golf Club is credited with introducing the sport to Schenectady. The Schenectady Curling Club was launched as part of the Mohawk Club. By 1919, there were two sheets of natural covered ice. A fire in 1923 nearly eliminated curling in Schenectady. Again, the Emmet family was instrumental in building a three sheet facility on Front Street.

As interest and membership grew, new curling quarters were needed. By 1954 our current curling facility on Balltown Road had opened its doors. In 1953 our club opened its doors to women curlers and mixed curling was not far behind. Our teenage curling program made its debut in 1956, and in the 80’s a Little Rock program was introduced for children between the ages of six and twelve. Our current facility has four sheets of ice and an inviting “warm room” with an excellent kitchen for our members and visitors. We are a 501( c)(3) not-for-profit Sports Education organization.
