Prospective New Members
Looking for a sport anyone can play?
Perhaps you've not played any sport before or tried but didn't succeed or you've played many sports, some with success, some without.
Croquet might be the Sport of Sports for you. The game is a lot of fun with gentle physical and mental exercise enjoyed in the fresh air. It combines skills, tactics and planning so can be as challenging as you desire. At Ballina Cherry Street Croquet Club we're lucky to have the entire spectrum of abilities and stamina. Some members play a 40 minute game then need a 40 minute break before they play again. A few members play all day, walking between 8km - 14km. As long as you enjoy yourself it doesn't matter whether you play one 40 minute game or play all day you'll be a valued member.
You don't need any equipment to give it a go as we'll supply everything you need, including coaching. All we ask is that you come along in comfortable clothing, flat soled shoes and a hat. Once you've tried croquet we're sure you'll want to continue and join - see our Welcome to Croquet.
If you do decide to join a croquet club then you'll need purchase your own mallet. We have some second hand mallets for sale at around $50 BUT we also have a member who will tailor make a mallet for you at a cost of about $175.
Let Ballina Cherry Street Croquet Club put a smile on your dial and contact our Club Captain, Ray Chapman, on 0439 240 251.
