Croquet Rules of the Game

Series 1

SPORTS

Croquet is a sport which involves hitting wooden, plastic, or composite balls with a mallet through hoops (often called wickets in the United States) embedded in a grass playing court. The sport was codified in England in the 1860s and then spread overseas. However, similar games have been recorded back to the late Middle Ages. Today, there are several variations of the game. In all forms of croquet, individual players or teams take turns striking the balls, scoring points by knocking them through a hoop. The game ends when a player or team reaches a predetermined number of points.
