Pétanque is a sport played throughout the world, in fact if you have been on holiday to France you will almost certainly have seen it played on village squares, indeed you may have been invited to join in.
What is not often realised is that pétanque is also played in the UK. It is a fast growing family sport for all ages and ideal for the whole family.
Coventry Pétanque Club welcome all new comers, whether experienced players or new to the sport, and all ages, though we must ask that young people under 13 are supervised by parents at all times. Boules are available for your use, to get you started.

It must be catching!! Following in Dad John's winning footsteps Junior Jane Geddes fought her way through the HoE qualifying round of the International Women's Day Pairs at Solihull and into the National Final at Oxshott in April. Her partner for the day was another, slightly older, young player Rachel Kelly. The competition attracted 12 teams from 6 clubs with 4 to qualify. Those team members represented 5 different clubs. The overall winners and first recipients of the new cup were Carol and Gill from Solihull. Runners up were Josette and Rosemary, also from Solihull. Photographs of some of the day's play are on the gallery page.
