Croquet can be a really easy game, but it really helps your enjoyment of the game if you’ve been taught the proper rules, how to hold your mallet, hit a ball properly, run hoops and make breaks.
Our one day Introduction to Croquet course provides a full introduction to the two main varieties of croquet.
We normally hold courses in April and May with later possibilities if there’s sufficient demand.
The exact dates can be seen in our .
The cost for the course is just £40 per person, and will include light refreshments.
Your membership fee for the year will be reduced to £30 if you decide to join the club and pay at the end of the course.
Don’t worry if you know nothing about croquet – this course is designed for you! Or if you have played croquet before, perhaps in the garden, but aren’t really sure about all the rules, then come along – we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
These courses will be run by a qualified coach and last from 10am to 4pm including a break for lunch and several tutored play sessions. The overall structure is:
AM
– How to hold a mallet, hit straight and run hoops

PM
– Association Croquet: garden version, hoops per ball
