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.

Due to the scheduled finishing date of the ongoing refurbishment at the Burnt Post being very close to the date for Coventry PC's Open Triples, it has been decided to postpone the triples until Sunday 22nd. August. Apologies if you had planned for the 8th. but we do not want to risk having to cancel at a late date if the refurbishment over runs. See the flyer for details
During last night's, (Wenesday July 28th.), league match between Coventry Leofric and Whitnash Oats. played at a neutral venue because of the temporary closure of the Burnt Post for refurbiishment, Coventry player Jane Geddes, aged fourteen, took on and beat the current National Ladies Singles Champion Rachel Kelly 13 - 11 to help the Leofric team to a 2 - 1 victory over a strong Whitnash outfit. Very well done, Jane!
Alexandra Mixed Pairs 27th. June 2021
A lovely day of friendly competition for the Alexandra Mixed Pairs. The weather played ball and the rain just about held off. Sixteen teams, the maximum we can host at the Burnt Post with Adrian and Myra Emson coming out worthy winners, being the only team to win all 5 games.

Club nights under Covid restrictions
Information is changing fast but the latest communication from Pétanque England is that they have secured clarification from the Sports Council/Government that play at pubs is OK as long as there are risk assessments in place at both pub and club. We are delighted therefore that clubnights can return to the Burnt Post on Friday evenings, 6:30 as normal, however, coaching on Tuesday evening is still unavailable due to coaches either self isolating or being unwell. Play is possible though from 6:30.
