A new way of introducing newcomers to Association Croquet developed at York Croquet Club is now set to be adopted across the country. The focus of the programme is on enjoyment and participation, with plenty of time on the lawn playing the game.
“Interest in croquet is surging,” said John Harris, Club chair. “It’s a fully socially distanced outdoor game played on equal terms by people regardless of gender or age. It really comes into its own on warm summer days,” he added.
The new course offers a full experience of Association Croquet, covering technique, rules and tactics in six straightforward stages. The Club at Scarcroft Green, Scarcroft Road, is hosting several introductory courses during the season, all of them featuring the new approach.
