Croquet is a game that can be played by people of all ages and can be played equally well by men and women and provides moderate levels of physical exercise with a fair amount of mental stimulation.
There are four Croquet codes, Association, Golf, Ricochet and Gateball: all involve skill in hitting a ball, running hoops, and developing tactics to outwit the opposition.
Croquet can be a 'no holds barred' battle on grass, as each team attempts to 'win' more hoops than their opponent - but in a very civilized way.
Newcastle National Park Croquet Club offers all four codes of mallet sports. Most new players learn “Golf” croquet to develop beginner mallet skills and may choose to play the other forms as well. Our club has qualified coaches.
