It starts with you.

Our mission is to spread the joy of croquet. We want to help you and your friends discover the game at a field near you. We are here to match people with places to play, plus provide equipment, instruction, sponsorships, introduction to the USCA, and ongoing support.

You already have access to a croquet court!

Any flat field near a park, school, church, community center, or residential complex makes a perfect place to play croquet.

Get in touch to learn how we are helping groups get started with croquet in areas they already enjoy!

Why are we giving away croquet?

• Croquet is an amazing, all-ages, competitive, and fun activity that more people could be enjoying outside together.

• Croquet can be enjoyed on any open sports field, lawn, common area or quad at a park, school, church, office park, apartment complex, or living center. Once you start playing, you will notice potential croquet fields everywhere.

• Croquet is a safe and socially-distanced activity that advances mental strategy and physical coordination in young people and sharpens them for older people.

• This low-impact outdoor walking activity can help individuals achieve health and wellness goals.

• The game is beautiful, elegant, sophisticated, civilized, that instills and promotes good-natured sportsmanship.

• The USCA foundation and league structure provides opportunities for players of all ages to excel in national tournaments.

• Croquet provides a wonderful means of networking and fellowshipping.

• Croquet may be not considered an accessible option as a recreational activity by many people, due to a perception that it an elite club sport played in expensive places. It is our goal to prove that croquet can be as diverse and inclusive as an other activity.

• Croquet often fails to take hold due to the complexity or perceived complexity of some of the different croquet games. Golf Croquet fixes that.

• Once some basic equipment is obtained and shared with a group, croquet is always a FREE activity that can be completely Do It Yourself (DIY).

• Participation in croquet is limited due to lack of knowledge of the game, scarcity of the equipment, and the high cost of the equipment itself. PlayCroquet.org is here to change this.
