How it started
The Denver Crokinole Club started in 2023, after some unfortunate life events. The game of crokinole reminded me to see what we do have in our lives — and how simple gameplay can still bring smiles to people's faces.
My brother introduced me to the game back in Chicago a few years before. We started on a Kickstarter board with wooden pegs, and then my brain went into "how can we make this and teach others" mode. I researched everything I could about crokinole and decided to reach out to Jeremy Tracey to see if, and how, we could build this together.
Fast forward to today: the club has befriended the Tracey family along the way, and I'm genuinely grateful to be part of this growth with them. I've also taken great pride in showing my daughter what it looks like to find a purpose and lead by example.

Why the club exists
The Denver Crokinole Club is an official non-profit 501(c)(7) social club. It exists to provide a safe, non-discriminatory space for everyone to come out, turn their minds away from the noise and back toward social game play.
Everyone belongs
Every age, background and skill level. If you can flick a button, there's a seat at the table for you.
Social first
Weekly play nights are about conversation, laughter and meeting new people — competition is optional.
Room to compete
For players who catch the bug, our tournaments offer pools, brackets and prizes — with the first NCA-sanctioned event planned for next year.
Growing the game
We want crokinole to be as familiar in Colorado as cornhole or darts, one new player at a time.
