The 2017 CA Survey of Croquet Players

The CA Marketing Committee thanks Kevin Carter for designing and analysing the results of the 2017 Survey.

A heartfelt thank you to the more than 1350 players who responded - it was pleasing to note that half were current CA members and half were Club members who were about to take up their free standard CA membership

Some of the findings were encouraging for the CA, but they also identified a number of key points for further action

The CA Council and the Marketing Team have identified 5 Key Action Points and initiatives including:

• Even more people playing croquet
• The Age Profile of club croquet players
• More Coaches, Referees and Tournament Managers -
• More people playing AC
• More competitive play

The Team is now developing these initiatives, each having the necessary resources to ensure croquet's future.

The comments from players that are published at the end of the Survey are illuminating. They show croquet players are passionate and articulate about their sport.
