NEW CROQUET ACADEMY OPENS IN NORTH

7 February 2017 by Tony Thomas

NEW NORTHERN CROQUET ACADEMY

The new Northern Croquet Academy has been established with the full encouragement and support of the Croquet Association. Every course is run by an experienced CA-accredited coach. The aim is for each course to be run to the highest standard, and for all participants not only to benefit from the coaching but also to enjoy the experience.

A full programme has been planned for 2017 and applications for places are already being received and members need to book early to be sure of a place.

One of the early courses comes with a special offer – “Become a Qualified Coach” on 20-21 May, carries a CA subsidy of £25 for one applicant from each club, up to a maximum of twelve places. Please contact John Harris (details on the attached programme) to check availability or find out more.

Enrolment details can be found on the link below which lists the full programme and costs:
