奥克兰一家志愿者运营的冰壶设施,是加州唯一专用设施,邀请新人尝试冬季奥运会推广的这项运动。旧金山湾区冰壶俱乐部提供由经验丰富运动员如墨西哥女子国家队队长Adriana Camarena领导的入门课程。该俱乐部有265名会员,国内赛事参与度不断提高,培养包容性社区。

冰壶这项在冬季奥运会期间备受关注的运动,在奥运会之外很少被玩,但旧金山湾区冰壶俱乐部旨在改变这一现状。该设施位于奥克兰8450 Enterprise Way,四年前在志愿者筹款十余年后开放。它使用蒸馏去离子水制作鹅卵石冰面,与曲棍球或花样滑冰的光滑表面不同,这对石头的顺滑移动和技能发展至关重要。 墨西哥女子国家队队长Adriana Camarena教授入门课程。“我们着迷了,”她说。“我们热爱这项运动。”最近周五晚上的课程中,参与者(包括记者)穿着橡胶鞋套(grippers),从hack投掷40多磅重的石头,旋转使其弯曲,用扫帚扫冰减少摩擦。新手练习赛以0-0结束,突显了该运动融合象棋般的策略、物理学,以及shuffleboard和滑冰元素。 冰面对面,一场经验不到五年的会员联赛展示了完整比赛。skip指挥投向house中button的石头,即同心圆目标。每队投八块石头,比对手石头更靠近中心的得分。赛后,选手握手,说“good curling”,并进行“broomstacking”——分享啤酒。 俱乐部强调体育精神和包容性。9月开始的Lana Nelson说:“不需要经验。如果你一直想参加娱乐联赛,这是一项很棒的运动。”伯克利高中生Benjamin Schechter玩了两年半,称其为“最包容的运动”,并创立了加州唯一的高中冰壶俱乐部。一年前从击剑转行的前击剑手Ed Callan说:“我上瘾了。”同样9月开始的Cindy Ward赞扬其团队导向和社会性:“它完全符合我的所有要求。冰壶最好的地方是人们。” 领导设施开发的志愿者Kate Garfinkel说:“这是我们共同实现的事。”她将于2月底参加夏洛特的女子美国全国赛。本赛季六名会员参加国内赛事,创纪录,俱乐部包括来自美国、波多黎各、墨西哥、沙特阿拉伯、印度和菲律宾的运动员。试课90分钟45美元,包括指导、游戏、饮品信用和40美元抵扣后续课程。Camarena补充:“容易上手,难以精通。” 俱乐部营业时间:周一二18-22:30、周四同、周三18-23、周六9-15、周日9-16、周五休息。详情请访问bayareacurling.com。
