Croquet is a GREAT game for any age! There are specific tournaments for those 25 and younger to compete in as part of the U. S. Croquet Association. Learning to play croquet well is a lesson in repetition, patience and strategy. It is a wonderful way to spend time as a family as shown by this fun-loving group!
Our first tournament was held in Fall 2023 with 10 players competing in Golf Croquet - Waterford Doubles play. It was fun! 1st Place: Sharon Lauer & Sue Sherer; 2nd Place: Peter Sherer & Evie Corbett.
