County player Callum at the Club grounds checks whether he can get both Red and Yellow through the hoop with a single shotA member of the Yorkshire croquet team will be offering free weekly coaching to York Croquet Club members throughout May. Callum Johnson, 21, joined the ranks of the county squad last year and is now keen to put something back into grassroots croquet.
Callum is also keen to see younger players taking up croquet and, as the youngest Yorkshire team member, is hoping other youngsters will follow his lead.
“If I can help players develop their game, it will be worth it,” he said. “If it encourages more competitive play, so much the better.”
“Croquet is engaging and very rewarding, he added. “It’s socially-distanced and is for everyone.”
