Pétanque

Pétanque - you may know it as French boules - is played all year round, by all ages and by both men and women on equal basis. It’s a game that is easy to learn but difficult to master! Some players focus on the precision and subtlety of ‘pointing’ - throwing the boule into an exact position close to the jack - while others prefer ‘shooting’ - aggressively smashing their opponent’s boules out of the way. Played well, pétanque needs a combination of both skills and the tactical teamwork to know when to attack and when to defend.

Oxshott Pétanque Club has 2 international sized terrains which can accommodate up to 16 concurrent games. They are used throughout the year for major national and regional competitions as well as our own internal matches; we have some of the best pétanque terrains and facilities in the UK and have been voted in the top 10 in the whole country.

 Opportunities to play:

  • Club sessions all year round on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons starting at 1.30pm

  • Club competitions throughout the year

  • Teams in the Southern Counties Region 6-a-side League and the local North Downs League

  • Regular competitive matches across the home counties
