Croquet is a fun and competitive sport, suitable for people of all age groups. The game does not require strength and agility but does require coaching and practiced technique to play well.
Croquet is played on grassed lawns using a croquet mallet. Croquet involves two codes Association croquet and Golf croquet. Both codes are played at the Orewa Croquet club.
Orewa Croquet club requires prospective members to undertake coaching, before being invited to become members. Coaching will provide the basic skills to understand and enjoy the game and to reach an adequate standard to begin club play.
Coaching of prospective members is at no charge. At the conclusion of three free lessons, a membership form will be provided by one of the coaching team.
If you are interested in trying out croquet and beginning coaching, please contact our Club Captain and Coach - Pixie Jones 021 0249 5910.
