Due to popular demand we have decided to make a new section here at petanque.org. And it is to be about coaching. If you have any ideas, or know-how, please contribute.
We need training programs for shooters, pointers, beginners, experienced players, and help on just about all issues relating to the finer points of learing how to play petanque.
As usual we can not pay anyone anything, all we promise is that the contributors will be credited for their work, and that the entire petanque-world will be able to read the material for the forseeable future.
So get cracking, write and draw, and send it to us. The adress is at the bottom of all pages. All formats will be accepted, but we prefer word or plain text, and illustrations in jpeg, photoshop, eps or gif.
If you want to use regular mail you can send your contributions to:
