Junior Croquet Program

How to get started.

To join the program, the child must submit a membership application, approved by the child's parent or guardian.  They must also participate in at least two TCCC croquet classes that teach the rules and fundamentals of croquet. The first two training classes are free and our Club will furnish all the necessary equipment (balls and mallets). Sally Bennett will arrange for the required classes for potential Junior member interested in instruction in Golf Croquet.  Contact Sally at (703) 568-9445, or email her at sallyirishbennett@gmail.com  to set up a time.  The program activities take place at the Tega Cay Croquet Court next to the Tega Cay Golf Club Pavilion. 

What does it cost?

Junior membership is free if a child has a parent or grandparent who is a member of the TCCC. For others, the annual membership fee for a Junior is $75.00.  

New Members joining for the first time and paying the membership fee after October will pay a prorated amount of the first year's annual dues based on the month of the application.  After the first year, the full fee will be due at the start of the next fiscal year.  The TCCC fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30.  

For those who are not members of the Tega Cay Croquet Club, Non-Member play is available at a fee of $15 per person for a two hour  play period.

What are the Junior program benefits?

The croquet court is reserved for practice, games and instruction on Monday evening from 6:00 to 7:00 pm.  

Junior members will have most of the General Membership Benefits with some special provisions. 

Juniors are non-voting members of the club.

Junior members can start playing for free as soon as:    

- The membership form is filled out and given to a TCCC Board member   

- The Junior has attended two training classes     

- The first year's membership fee has been paid

Junior members who are 16 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult member of the Club while playing on the court.  The adult member will serve as a coach and assure that the equipment room is open during the reserved time.  Any Junior member needing an adult member to be present at their reserved time can contact Sally Bennett at 703-568-9445 or email at sallyirishbennett@gmail.com, and she will arrange for a Club member to meet the Juniors at the court.  Contact should be made at least 24 hours before the reserved time.

Junior members may make advanced reserved starting times for up to one week in advance.  Junior members can make court reservations by clicking on the button on the Home page to make on-line reservations or call the Golf Club at 803-548-3500 for reservations up to one week in advance.
