Our Commitment
We take great pride in our commitment to preserving the traditions and heritage of this timeless sport. Our values of sportsmanship, respect, and friendship permeate every aspect of our club, creating an environment where players of all ages and skill levels can come together to enjoy the game. Whether you are a competitive player seeking thrilling matches or simply looking for a leisurely game in a friendly atmosphere, Parley Pétanque Club welcomes you with open arms.
Inclusivity and Accessibility
Pétanque is, perhaps, the only sport where age and gender has no bearing on the quality of the game. It is a very simple game to learn but also a very technical game. Everyone can succeed to some level. You are welcome to bring family and friends to see what a wonderful inclusive sport this is. Our players come from across West Parley, Ferndown, Bournemouth, Poole and even Hampshire.
