It has been decided to introduce an annual Croquet Championship for school students. This year all competition will be held in Sydney but in future years it is envisaged that the competition will be held in each of the six regions with finals being held at an agreed venue.
At the moment two days have been set aside but this may change depending on the number of entries. Play will be organised in round robin blocks. Competition will be held in three divisions:-
This year all divisions will play Golf Croquet the rules of which are on the ACA website (click here to download). Referees will be present at each game.
Children will NOT be permitted to leave the venue during the day and will be supervised at all times. Parents and teachers will be welcome.
