Talking Croquet Issue 007 - May 2026

TASTER COACHING SESSIONS CONTINUED

8/Explain the objective of the game and how to score a hoop point. 9/Demonstrate how to run both a straight and angled hoop…then let them have a go. 10/ Demonstrate how to knock away an opponent’s ball if demonstrating GC, then let them have a go…dispel the myth of Alice in Wonderland! 11/ Choose a partner, or their companion if two people are being shown, or play them yourself…be kind. Let them run a few hoops, it will boost their confidence and enjoyment 12/ I would suggest an approximately one hour Taster Session and try not to rush things. Keep it simple and do not overload them with other than the basic rules.

Remember to take their personal details such as Name, Telephone number, Email address. No point in giving a Demo and then just letting them walk away without any means of further contact ! Finally pass on the details of your Taster Session to your Club Chairman, Secretary or Treasurer so they may follow up your good work. A successful taster can help increase the Club’s membership, adding financial stability to your club and, who knows, giving a successful Taster Session might encourage you to become a qualified Coach yourself ! Be Encouraged; your Taster Session could make all the

difference to your club. Have a Great Season!
