Curling on carpet was developed in Sweden in 1993 upon the request of the Swedish Sport Federation who wanted to develop a sport which could also be enjoyed by persons with physical challenges.  From 1995 the Seniors Association, Retirement Villages, the hotel industry, schools etc began to take part in this new sport. The game is easy to learn and does not require any particular skills, making it well suited for the older generation as well as people with disabilities. However, Curling on carpet has been enjoyed by young and old.
