Toombul Croquet Club

"It is hard to believe this still/could happens today. This article is a timely reminder for all of us—especially those in leadership roles across our clubs and state bodies—to always stay proactive and ensure our sport remains a safe space for everyone."

“Community sport should be a space where everyone feels safe, and has a sense of belonging. But when racism happens in community sport, the impacts are felt long after the game is over.”
Carmel Guerra OAM, CEO of CMY and CMSport

A new anti-racism campaign delivered by the Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) and its CMSport initiative, in partnership with seven major state sporting associations, VACSAL, Vicsport and VicHealth, is designed to increase Victorians’ awareness of racism in community sport and its impact on First Nations and multicultural communities.

Preparations for the CAQ Womens AC Championship over the weekend with Wayne our Hoop Setter. Wayne as our Green Keeper also had the lawns looking great even thou it has been a fairly dry Summer. Couple of actions shots of Yuni Rowell the winner of the Championship over the weekend!

Toombul was proud to host the CAQ Women's Association Croquet Championship over the weekend! It was great having the top players here, along with our two international players from New Zealand.

With most of our members being relatively new to the world of croquet, it was awesome to watch these players showcase their incredible shotmaking and demonstrate the fundamentals of AC.

Thank you to all the players for your cooperation, your participation, and your wonderful knowledge sharing!

Why do You play ........... ? We like all of those Reasons to Come n Play! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CsgBDdabF/

We all know that personal recommendation is probably the most powerful way to bring new people into croquet…

But if someone asked you:

“Why do you play?”

What would you actually say?

Not the rules.Not the format.Not the history.

What keeps YOU coming back?

The strategy?The people?The challenge?The peace?The friendships?The moments?The feeling when a shot comes off exactly as imagined?

Maybe the real strength of croquet has never just been the game itself…

Maybe it’s the different reasons people fall in love with it.

What would your answer be?
