Summer is upon us, and for many that will mean getting out of doors and enjoying the sunshine. Many will have been toning up over the winter months. However, if you still think you need to tone up a little before hitting the beach, the good news is there is still plenty of time to get fit for the summer. As well as high impact sports and classes such as aerobics and tread mills, lighter activities such as croquet are a great way to get fitter and more toned.
Croquet sets vary greatly in price; Priory Sports offer a huge range of sets, as well as croquet accessories.
Whether you are after croquet balls, mallets or flags or you want a full croquet set, Priory Sports have a huge range to choose from.
The great thing about croquet is it’s a fun way to get fit for people of all ages, from children to older people.
Croquet is a traditional English summer pastime that can be played as a competitive sport or a more leisurely game. It is thought to have been invented in the 15th Century, although it has gone through some revisions since then. What’s more, it has spawned several variants across the world. One of the best things about the game is it can be adapted to fit playing areas large and small – so you can play it on the lawn at home or in the park, even on the beach should you desire. Croquet sets, then, are an excellent addition to your collection of sporting equipment.
