Our coaches conduct a series of three two-hour sessions for those new to the sport of croquet who are interested in joining the club.  These are provided at a cost of $30.

 

Trevor and Margaret provide additional coaching to existing members who are seeking to improve their skills.  These may be separately organised sessions, or short skill-specific drills during the break in a normal playing session.
