To join Cedar Rapids Curling regular leagues (not Instructional Leagues), players must pay an annual membership fee, which covers insurance, USA Curling and Midwest Curling Association membership, use of club curling equipment, and general overhead. In addition to league play, membership offers intraclub curling and social activities throughout the year. Members have opportunities to develop their curling skills and knowledge, socialize with our members and regional clubs through friendlies, and curl at fun social and competitive events around the country.
The Cedar Rapids Curling year runs from September through August, and new curlers usually are required to complete an Instructional League before becoming a member and joining regular leagues.

| First Adult | $100 |
| Second Adult | $75 |
| Junior/Child** | $50 |
| Social | $50 |
**Juniors are ages 17-21; child is 16 and younger.
