Alison Sharpe

Alison is presently a NSW State Selector for GC as well as for AC, and she is also the GC State Team Coach.
She won her first NSW State Championship in 2008 and has represented NSW in the Interstate Shield since 2014. Alison has also won The Australian Women’s Championship 5 times, with her most recent national win in 2025. She is currently ranked No 1 female player in Australia.
Alison is a Level 3 Accredited Coach and is particularly focused on coaching the tactical, technical and psychological aspects of Golf Croquet. She encourages confidence and empowerment and enjoys giving players a greater sense of self-belief.
She is presently involved with coaching the State Squad; this means travel across NSW which allows her to become very familiar with regional clubs and to understand where they lie in regards to their standard of play but also to recognise where these clubs need help in coaching at all levels.
Her past roles have involved being on the Croquet Australia Board as well as on the CNSW Board at various times over the last 15 years and this has held her in good stead for understanding what representing NSW really means and she particularly enjoys mentoring players at all levels and likes to introduce goals to new players that will then set them on a great path throughout their Croquet journey.
