Play Croquet News
PlayCroquet will soon be adding Sportcraft and Other suppliers of Croquet Sets to its website, providing a greater variety and selection of croquet sets for croquet players. PlayCroquet.com was established in April, 2005 to make croquet sets, croquet equipment, and information about croquet clubs and tournaments available over the Internet. PlayCroquet also has its own Croquet Club in Utah County, Utah. Although the club has had no official tournaments, they meet together to just play casual games for recreation. The Croquet Club is part of a more general Yard Game Club, which plays all sorts of outdoor yard games. If you live locally to PlayCroquet.com, in Utah Count, and would like to join us when we play, please contact us and let us know at PlayCroquet.com or YardGameCentral.com.
Currently PlayCroquet offers six different croquet sets from a foam croquet set or kids croquet set, to other adult croquet sets for recreation or tournament play. It has a cheaper four player croquet set for those who want a low priced game for a few people rather than playing with larger groups. PlayCroquet also has several larger six player nine wicket croquet sets. Recently PlayCroquet added Toequet Sets and Mallet Ball Sets to its website. Toequet is like croquet, except larger. The balls are soccer balls, or soccer ball size, and the wickets are larger as well. Rather than hitting the balls with a club, in Toequet you kick the balls with your feet, thus the name, "Toe"-quet. Mallet Ball is played with the same large set as Toequet, except you do not kick the balls. Like Croquet, you hit the balls with a mallet. Unlike croquet, however, the mallet is much larger in Mallet Ball.
PlayCroquet also has on its site the PlayCroquet Club, where they list all of the croquet clubs found in North America, and around the world. If your clubs or tournaments are not listed, please contact PlayCroquet.com and let
them know, so they can list your club or tournament. The PlayCroquet Club also provides information on, or links to upcoming tournaments and news lists that avid croquet players can attend or subscribe to. It links to major croquet associations, such as the United States Croquet Association, or The World Croquet Federation. It also links to national croquet associations from various countries around the world.
Other than croquet sets, PlayCroquet provides a variety of Croquet Merchandise, including rulebooks, CDs, DVDs, and videos that teach basically how to play croquet, the official United States' and International or tournament croquet rules, along with strategies to improve your game. At PlayCroquet.com you can also find croquet clothing apparel and other croquet accessories. PlayCroquet's merchandise is provided by the United States Croquet Association.
PlayCroquet.com is officially owned by Yard Game Central, LLC. Along with Croquet, therefore, at PlayCroquet.com you can find other outdoor games similar or related to Croquet, or just other games that people like to play outside, such as: Petanque, Quoits, Ladder Golf, Kubb, Bocce Ball, Horse Shoes, and others. These are also the games the Yard Game Club plays, along with Croquet.
The PlayCroquet Croquet Club met together several times throughout the summer to play croquet. Other times they met at the park to play Bocce Ball. For a while, they met each Friday at the park to play Kubb. The club is still active in playing yard games regularly, and often other random people at the parks are invited and excited to play. The club will continue meeting in the fall as long as the weather is good. Please contact PlayCrqouet.com if you are looking for croquet or other yard game equipment, or if you want to join a club.
