The Queen City Croquet Clvb
The MOER Foundation would like to announce The Queen City Croquet Club. The QCCC with be providing clinics for children as well as families. The game of croquet (pronounced "CROW-KAY") is a tradition of backyard recreation in America, as well as a sport that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Whether you are a novice who plays the occasional friendly game or a determined competitor who gives opponents no quarter, you need to know the rules and have them handy for reference during a game.
The following rules are suggested for use in play, as it is the purpose of the USCA to standardize one set of rules. Some interesting "options" are also listed below, which may make the game more challenging. Those playing in a game can always create their own rules and variations; however, any variation to be used must be announced before the start of the game.
