• Everyone must wear a mask covering both their nose and mouth the whole time while on the ice and in the building (except when taking a drink by the back boards).
• Masks should be well fit (snug around the face, not too tight but also not loose).
• Cloth masks should have at least two layers of cloth.
• Face shields, bandanas, and neck gaiters are not allowed (unless you wear a mask underneath).
• The only exception to keeping the mask on is when taking a drink - all drinks should be placed against the back boards, and refrain from talking when your mask is off.
• You may want to bring a couple masks to see which would work best for you while curling
• Some tips for preventing foggy glasses include:
  • Ensure your mask is well fit
  • Use a mask with a metal band in the nose
  • Try to wear your mask high on your nose under your glasses
  • Use athletic tape to tape the mask to the bridge of your nose
  • Again, bring a couple masks to try out to see which works best with glasses

Aksarben Curling hosts multiple bonspiels every year. The Halloween costume-themed Bone-Spiel Fun Spiel kicks off our curling season in October.

In April, we host the Aksarben Curling Season Championship for teams that won their fall and winter leagues. In July, we help support the Cornhusker State Games in providing a curling event during their annual summer games in July.
