| New Age Kurling |
| New Age Kurling is an indoor version of the existing game of Curling. It uses a discus with a handle
and bearings so it can slide along the ground. Pushers and ramps to allow people of all abilities to launch the
kurling stones as well as vinyl mats as targets.
New Age Kurling has been used as part of rehabilitation programs in hospitals
because the sport doesn't require any physical fitness to play, but exercises
muscles you would not usually use. |
| What started as a sporting idea for disabled people quickly became popular with
able-bodied persons too, and disabled people play with or
against able-bodied people on an equal level.
The sport is now played all over the world, with national and international
competitions. By 2009 indoor curling will be enjoyed in 174 countries and it may be a paralympic sport in 2012. |
