Croquet is a game that can be enjoyed by individuals of all ages, from 9 to 90 years old. It is a game that can be played by both men and women and offers a moderate amount of physical exercise along with mental stimulation. It has even been recommended by the American Heart Association for its cardiovascular benefits.
CNSW offers various codes of croquet including Association, Golf, Ricochet, and Gateball. Each code involves skill in hitting a ball, running hoops, and developing tactics to outsmart the opponent. Croquet can be a competitive game, with teams striving to win more hoops than their opponents, but it is played in a civilised and respectful manner.
The club welcomes people who are interested in learning and playing croquet. They have regular playing days and encourage individuals to join one of their 70 affiliated clubs across NSW and the ACT. These clubs provide a friendly and inclusive environment for players of all skill levels.
