This spring, we're offering practice ice and drop-in curling for Aksarben Curling members who have a 2024-2025 season membership. One sheet will be open alongside the Monday 7pm league for 2 hours. Members may practice, run drills, scrimmage, or play pick-up games with other members (full games, doubles, etc.). Remaining dates include:

• Monday, March 24 at 7 PM (practice/drop-in curling)
• Monday, March 31 at 7 PM (practice/drop-in curling)
• Monday, April 7 at 7 PM (practice/drop-in curling)

Please plan to help with cleaning your sheet and putting away equipment once you are finished.

Note: We cannot guarantee that you will have enough people on hand to play with full teams.

We're coordinating three Spring Leagues in 2025:

• Fridays at 7 PM: 5 weeks starting March 21
• Mondays at 7 PM: 6 weeks starting March 24
• Tuesdays at 7 PM: 5 weeks starting April 1

Registration opens on Saturday, March 1 at 10:00 AM.

Registration will be first-come, first-serve. You don't have to have a full team — our league coordinators will help form teams!

In October 2024, Aksarben Curling's Team Ridder competed at the 2024 USA Curling Arena National Championship at the Wausau Curling Center in Wasau, WI.

After going 2-3 in pool play, Team Ridder earned a spot in the quarterfinals qualification game based on head-to-head tiebreakers. In the qualification game, they defeated Wine Country Curling's Team Betts to earn a spot in the semi-finals. There, Team Ridder won a pool play rematch against Cedar Rapids Curling's Team Tesch to advance to the finals. Team Ridder then played Wine Country Curling's Team Spangler in the gold/silver game. Team Spangler ultimately prevailed and Team Ridder won the silver medal!

Congratulations to Team Ridder's Nic Ridder, David Hill, Doug Michel, Sean Morrison, and Nic Swiercek!

Special thank you to all of the Aksarben Curling members who cheered on Team Ridder remotely from Omaha at home and at our livestream watch parties! We truuly had the gold medalists of cheering back home!
