Members of the Canadian Pacific Lawn Bowling and Croquet Club are keen to introduce downtown residents to the sport of croquet with three free, easy lessons.
Our introductory classes will show you how to hold and swing the mallet, and teach you the basic rules and strategies of Golf Croquet, a game that’s easy to learn, fun to play, and develops many of the skills you’ll use if you decide to move on to Association Croquet, a more complex game.
Later classes cover additional skills, court set up, the rules of Association Croquet, and the offensive and defensive strategies that will help you win games and play in tournaments throughout the region and even around the world. Each lesson usually takes about two hours apiece, with time for instruction, practice, and play. All equipment is provided by our Club, but players must wear flat-soled shoes which will not damage the lawns. Wear comfortable clothes.
The availability of the lawn for class sessions depends partly on the Club’s current schedule. Contact the lessons coordinator to tell us you’re interested, and we’ll figure out a time that’ll work best for you.
Classes will begin when a group is ready to learn. Bring your own group — it’s more fun that way!
