Not every sport requires a ball

Portland wears its weird title like a badge of honor, so it should come as no surprise that the City of Roses has a wide list of sports available to the public.

“I think that Portland is perhaps the most outstanding in the country when it comes to the diversity of sports it offers,” says Drew Mahalic, chief executive officer of the nonprofit Oregon Sports Authority.

On paper, the Northwest rain and outdoor sports are not a good mix. But the city makes up for that with gorgeous summer and fall weather (usually).

“During the summer, I don’t think there is any better place in the world to play or watch a sport than in Portland,” Mahalic says.

    Curling is super cool.

    Late August we are heading to Vacaville, CA for “The Crush” a summer bonspiel (curling tournament)at the Wine Country Curling Club. Our Portland team will be playing with a member of the USA National ParaOlympic Curling team and competing against members of the USA Deaf Olympic Team among another 22 teams. Should be a blast!

    Feel free to come curl with us at Lloyd Center Tuesday or Sunday evenings beginning in September.
