This one-day course is open to players of both codes, and should appeal both to those starting out in AC, and also to GC players who want to diversify into AC play and use their skills to give them a head start in the original game.  It is also for coaches looking for a simple way of introducing AC into their own clubs through Short Croquet. The day offers a full introduction to both AC and SC, covering distinctive aspects including croquet shots and building a break, and helping participants play with understanding and pleasure. It will include guidance on how the skills can be easily learned, a supported game, and plenty of opportunity for individual help.
