The best way to find out about Association Croquet, and to see if you like it, is to try it! York Croquet Club offers several ways of discovering the game for yourself, all of them without commitment.
We offer free drop-in Try Croquet taster sessions during the season for anyone wanting to experience the feel of ball, mallet, lawn and hoop at first hand and try a simple version of the game. For dates please see the Try Croquet taster sessions page in this section
For those looking for something more substantial, Play-in-a-day offers a condensed introduction to the technique and tactics of Association Croquet, followed by a game. For details please see the Play-in-a-day page in this section.
We also offer Introductory courses for those wanting a fuller understanding of the technique, tactics and laws of Association Croquet. These are led by experienced Club coaches and normally last for one afternoon or evening a week for five or six weeks. For details please see the Introductory courses page in this section.
Finally we are always pleased to discuss how we can help Community groups and Work groups – please see the later pages in this section.
Croquet is played on equal terms regardless of gender, and by a wide range of ages. Do please be in touch if you would like to know more: contact the Club secretary Christine Morris on 07981 049174, or email
