The Heart of Curling!The United States Women's Curling Association was formed to promote and conserve the best interests and the true spirit of the game of curling. The USWCA unites women's curling clubs throughout the United States to cultivate friendly relations among its members and their clubs, to promote international friendships, to preserve the tradition and literature of the game and to hold women's curling events each year.
The Mission: To develop, nurture and promote the sport of curling among today's women and all youth. Indeed, the USWCA is the Heart of Curling.
Curling and the Olympics
 It is reported that the sport of curling gets its roots in Scotland and dates as far back as the early 1500s. Records show that curling was most likely brought to North America by British troops in the 1700s during the Revolutionary War.
Curling made its Olympic debut in 1924, and it was a demonstration sport at the 1932 Lake Placid Games. It was not seen again until the 1988 and 1992 Winter Games, when it returned as a demonstation sport. In 1998, curling became an official medal sport. Since then, renewed interest in the game has greatly benefited curing clubs, which has seen a membership increase after each winter Olympic year. In 2010, the Winter Olympic Games was held in Vancouver, Canada. Link to the official Olympic Winter Games website: www.vancouver2010.com
