The Winter Olympics are over — but there's good news for curling fans. You don't have to wait four years to enjoy more thrilling curling action.

The Granite Curling Club in Seattle's Bitter Lake neighborhood hosts league play and will teach you how to throw stones, sweep and score like the pros.

The Granite Curling Club shows us how curling works, and Derrick McLean and Ken Trask chat about their time at the 2010 Olympic Trials.
