Introduction

Living in a small town, there isn’t much to do. Luckily, I go curling. I really enjoy curling. I am also joining archery. I really enjoy archery too, since I went in it last year. These things are so much fun that I’m going to tell you my experience of playing these sports.

Curling

The Basics

Curling is a sport of skill and teamwork. The object of the sport is to get as many of your coloured rocks into the house and closest to the button.

^{A Curling House}

There are twelve ends in curling. When each round ends, the team with the most rocks closest to the button gets points for however many rocks are closest to the button. The game ends when the twelfth end is played. The team with the most points wins.

The game is played in two teams of four. Each person plays two rocks in each end. Each person has a certain roll to play.

Lead- The Lead is the first person on the team to throw the rocks.

Second- The Second is the second person on the team to throw the rocks.

Third- The Third is the third person on the team to throw the rocks.

Skip- The Skip is the final person on the team to throw the rocks and is in charge of the teams moves.

These are the basics of curling.

My Experiences

I have only went to two classes, since I was late to join, but it is still fun. We don’t play actual games yet, though, because we are just learning. I actually got some rocks in the house!

Archery

The Basics

Unfortunately, all I know about archery is that you shoot a bow at a bored that looks like this:

because we always played for fun.

My experiences

I haven’t done archery in about a year, but I remember when we shot balloons and some of them had toonies in them. Those were the good times.

Conclusion

I really enjoy playing these games and I hope that you will play these sports, too because they are so much fun!
