CROQUET
Justin Childs & Lee Battle
Nature and Purpose
• Croquet is a recreational pastime and competitive sport played on a
lawn.
• The object of the game is to advance the balls through the course by
hitting them with the mallet, scoring a point for each wicket and stake
made in the correct order and direction.
• Person must accumulate 14 wicket points and 2 stake points to win. In
other words, complete the set course first.
History of Croquet
• Noone knows exactly who invented croquet. It was created
from various variations of games in history. It also does not
have a direct place it originated from.
History of Croquet
• The oldest document to bear the word "croquet" with a description of
the modern game is the set of rules registered by Isaac Spratt in
November 1856 with the Stationers' Company in London.
• The first explanation is that the ancestral game was introduced to
Britain from France during the reign of Charles II of England, and was
played under the name of paille maille or pall mall, derived ultimately
from Latin words for "ball and mallet".
• First outdoor game played by women in the USA
Basic Rules & Regulations
• Coin Toss Determines who goes first
• You then pick your color ball, which will determine your order.
• Four balls are played by two sides (singles—two players competing
against each other playing two balls each; or doubles—two sides of
two players each). The side winning the coin toss has the choice of
playing first and third with blue/black or second and fourth with
red/yellow. The order of play throughout the game is blue, red,
black, yellow.
Basic Rules & Regulations
• Many croquet players like to play singles with only one ball per side, the
winner being the player who advances his or her ball around the court
first. This popular variation is played with the same rules as regular
singles or doubles croquet, but any number of players from two to six
can play. The colors may be drawn by lot to determine the order of play.
Basic Rules & Regulations
• All balls are played into the game from a spot halfway between the
finishing stake and wicket #1.
• After all balls have started
the game, play continues in the same order
.
until a ball is staked out. When a ball is out of the game, the remaining
balls continue in the same order, skipping the ball that has finished the
course.
• If the ball is hit over the boundary, place the ball one wicket length
inside the boundary.
Example of Play
Scoring Process
• Each ball can score wicket and stake points for its side only by going
through a wicket or hitting a stake in the proper order and direction.
Going through a wicket out of order or in the wrong direction is not
counted as a point gained or lost. A ball caused to score its wicket or
stake during another ball’s turn earns the point for its side, but no
bonus shot is earned as a result.
Scoring Process
• The striker earns one bonus shot if the striker ball scores a wicket or hits
the turning stake. The striker earns two bonus shots if the striker ball
hits another ball (a “roquet”). However, the maximum number of bonus
shots earned by a striker is two
Playing Field
• According to the United States Croquet Association, the
standard playing field size is rectangular shape measured 100’
x 50’. If you don’t have the room, you can scale it down to your
desired rectangular size.
Playing Field
Length of Game
• There is no set time limit, Just the first to
complete the course accumulating 14 wickets
and 2 stakes.
Equipment
• Croquet set including:
– 9 wickets, 2 stakes, Mallets and Balls
– Open Field
– 2-6 Players
Optional: String and stakes to set up a boundary around the course
Can be played in any attire
Terminology
• Roquet: When the striker’s ball hits a ball that he is entitled to take
a croquet shot with. At the start of a turn, the striker is entitled to
roquet all the other three balls once.
• Push: A fault when the mallet pushes the striker's ball, rather than
making a clean strike.
• Peel: To send a ball other than the striker's ball through its target
hoop
• Rover ball: A ball that has run all 14 hoops and can be pegged out.
• Peg out: To cause a rover ball to strike the peg and conclude its
active involvement in the game.
• Rush: A roquet when the roqueted ball is sent to a specific position
on the court
• Rover hoop: The last hoop, indicated by a red top bar. The first
hoop has a blue top.
Safety Procedures
• The only real safety precautions for croquet is to wear close
toed shoes. This is to ensure you don’t strike your foot. And do
not swing mallet at one another.

STANDARD GRIP
Standard Grip: The shaft is grasped near its top with the
knuckles of the hand pointing forward and the thumb up.
The lower hand supports the back of the shaft with the
knuckles pointing backwards and the thumb down. The
spacing between the top and lower hand varies with the
type of stroke being played.
SOLOMON GRIP
Solomon Grip: Both the upper and lower hands grasp the
top of the shaft of the mallet with the knuckles forward
and the thumbs uppermost. The hands are nearly always
very close together. This grip is suitable for shorter
players and provides a big back swing.
IRISH GRIP
Irish Grip: The knuckles of both hands point back with both
thumbs pointing down. The hands are held close together. The
grip is generally lower down the shaft than with the other styles.

HISTORY
HISTORY
The game of field hockey, or renditions of the
game have been played since 200 BC. It dates back
to ancient Greece, where people hit a ball-like
object into a goal using a long stick.
The modern game came from English public
schools in the United Kingdom around 1835.
The Hockey Association was founded in 1886 and
the International Rules Board was founded in
1900.
HISTORY
In the early 1970s artificial turf began to be
used. Synthetic pitches changed most aspects of
hockey gaining speed. New tactics and
techniques developed, followed by new rules.
Women's hockey was first played at British
universities and schools, and the first club was
founded in 1887.
By the early 1970s there were 22 associations
with women's sections.
HISTORY
Outside North America, participation is now fairly
evenly balanced between men and women.
The England Hockey reports that as of the 2008–09
season there were 2488 registered men's teams,
1969 women's teams, 1042 boys' teams, 966 girls'
teams and 274 mixed teams.
In the USA, there are few hockey clubs, most play
taking place between high school or college,
consisting almost entirely of females.
EQUIPMENT
STICK
The field hockey stick is made of
wood or it can be made with
composite material. The stick is
flat on one side and rounded on
the other and it has a curved head.
Players are allowed to hit the ball
with the curved head or with the
flat part of the stick. The length of
the stick is determined by how tall
a player is. The stick must weigh at
least 12 ounces (340 grams) and it
can't weigh more the 28 ounces
(793 grams). The diameter of the
shaft can't be more than 2 inches.
BALL
The ball is a solid plastic
ball, it is slightly larger
than a baseball and it
has a honeycombed
surface. It has a
circumference of 8.8 to
9.25 inches (22.3 to
24.13 centimeters) and
it will weigh between
5.5 to 5.7 ounces (155.9
to 161.5 grams)
Shin Guards and Mouth
Protectors
Players are
required to
wear shin
guards and
mouth
protectors.
GOALKEEPER
The Goalkeeper is the player
who requires the most
protection.
A helmet that has a full faceguard must be worn.
Body Protector.
Leg pads are lightweight so
the goalkeeper is able to
move quickly and have
sufficient mobility.
GOALKEEPER
Padded Glove and Blocker. The
padded glove is used on the stick
hand and is designed to protect
the goalkeeper's hand while still
being able to effectively use their
stick. The Blocker is worn on the
non-stick hand. It is made of
foam, is flat on one side and is
used to block and deflect balls
shot on goal.
Kickers are worn on the
goalkeeper's shoes and they not
only protect the goalkeeper's
feet but also allows them to kick
the ball.
CLOTHING
All players wear shirts and
shorts and women will
sometimes wear kilts.
The shoes players wear will
have plastic cleats
The goalkeeper, besides all of
the protective gear they
wear, will wear a jersey that
is a different color from their
teammates and the opposing
team.
DIMENSION OF FIELD
There are two types of outdoor field hockey
fields: Grass and synthetic turf. While younger
players often learn the game on grass fields,
the days of grass being the only option are long
gone. Turf is the only surface used at the
Olympic and World Championship levels. More
and more colleges and high schools in the
United States are going the turf route, as well.
Turf has changed the game dramatically,
putting more emphasis on speed and stick
skills. But while the types of surfaces may vary,
the size, shape and overall dimensions of the
field have remained the same.
DIMENSION OF FIELD
A solid line marks the shooting circle, which is made
up of two quarter-circles. It measures 16 yards
(14.63m) out from each goal post and is joined by a
short straight line at the top. There is a dotted line
5.5 yards (5m) from the solid semi-circular line.
Additionally, there is a line across the field 25 yards
(22.90m) from the backline. This is known as the
“25-yard line.” The penalty spot or stroke mark is
six inches (15 centimeters) in diameter and placed 7
yard (6.40m) from the center of each goal. The
center line divides the field in two at the 50-yard
(45.6m) mark.
BASIC RULES AND
REGULATIONS
• Two Halves, 35 minutes each in collegiate and international
play, 30 minutes in high school play
• 11 players per side, including the goalkeeper
• The back and side of the cages are 18 inches high.
• Two umpires on the field officiate the match. An additional
umpire may sit at the scorer's table.
• The ball must be passed or dribbled down the field with the
flat side of the stick.
• A goal is scored when an attacker strikes the ball into the
goal from within the striking circle.
• Players may not shield the ball using their body or stick. All
players must have an equal chance to play the ball
SCORING
The teams' object is to play the ball into their
attacking circle and, from there, hit, push or
flick the ball into the goal, scoring a goal. The
team with more goals after two 35-minute
halves wins the game. The playing time may
be shortened, particularly when younger
players are involved, or for some tournament
play.
FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES
INDIVIDUAL BASIC SKILLS:
Each player must develop
effective passing & trapping
skills while in attack, and be
very effective in intercepting
passes and tackling when
defending
.
FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES
The main methods by which the ball is
moved around the field by players are
a) passing b) pushing the ball and
running with it controlled to the front
or right of the body and 3)"dribbling";
where the player controls the ball with
the stick and moves in various
directions with it to elude opponents.
FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES
Attacking Skill
1. The body position of the player should be very low to the
ground, i.e., crouched, whenever she is anywhere near the ball.
2. Since the ball travels very quickly, and can arrive at a moment's
notice, a player must keep her stick on the floor all the time.
Therefore, the stick is held at the top by the left hand and the
head of the stick will be near or on the floor at all times.
3. The stick is placed horizontally to the floor to make stationary
traps. Two hands must be kept on the stick to ensure the ball
doesn't bounce up and away from the player.
4. When trapping on the move, the player must trap in a more
upright position just as in outdoor field hockey.
Attacking Skills Continued
5. After trapping the ball, the ball should remain on the stick,
on the player's forehand side, with the player looking up to
pass. She will not "fiddle" with the ball or keep the ball on her
reverse stick.
6. Very seldom should the "slap" pass be made. Passes should
be made with ball in contact with the stick at all times, i.e.,
you should not hear a sound when a pass is made. In this way,
the passer will be able to disguise the direction of her pass and
also the speed of her pass.
7. A player should try not to spin with the ball to get away
from an opponent. The player should keep the ball in front (or
to the side) of her so that she can be in a position to pass the
ball.
TERMINOLOGY
Attack (Attacker) – The team (player) which (who) is trying to
score a goal.
Defense (Defender) – The team (player) which (who) is trying to
prevent a goal from being scored.
Back-line – The shorter perimeter line.
Goal-line – The back-line between the goal posts.
Side-line – The longer perimeter line.
Striking Circle – The area enclosed by and including the two
quarter circles and the lines joining them at each end of the
field opposite the center of the back-lines.
TERMINOLOGY
Hit – Striking the ball using a swinging movement of the stick
towards the ball.
Push – Moving the ball along the ground using a pushing
movement of the stick after the stick has
been placed close to the ball. When a push is made, both the
ball and the head of the stick are in
contact with the ground.
Flick – Pushing the ball so that it is raised off the ground.
Offence – An action contrary to the Rules which may be
penalized by an umpire
BASIC OFFENSIVE STRATEGIES
BASIC DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES
Players must stay alert at all times while
playing defense.
Most teams play with 2 defenders.
Defenders are taught to only block goal shot
attempts when it's certain they can block the
shot without a deflection. Which prevents an
easy put back for the opposing team.
BASIC DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES
Spread across the
zone
Target the guards
Cover the goal
Be aggressive
BASIC TEAM STRATEGIES
DRILLS AND LEAD-UP ACTIVITIES
Field hockey defensive drills will assist the
defense in understanding game flow and
working together. It is important to have
drills as a team. You can always work
defensive drills solo and these drills fit
that bill but more importantly these drills
are designed for team play
DRILLS AND LEAD-UP ACTIVITIES
The Wedge Drill
Forced Backhand Shot
Physical Play
Defensive Footwork Drill
Defense Round About
PROGRESSION OF DRILLS
The Wedge Drill: This drill is based on
defense moving attacking players to the
outside of the field. This is done by having
the attacking player moving up the middle
of the field. The defensive player will meet
the attacker and work to move them to the
outside of the field. Have the attacker move
in from the center line with the defensive
player outside of the shooting circle.
PROGRESSION OF DRILLS
Forced Backhand Shot: Have the defense
line up at the top of the shooting circle.
The attacker will be directly in front of
them. The attacker will receive a pass and
the defensive player will position to guard
against the strong position shot. The idea
is to give the attacker a time limit to
resolve the shot which the defense must
force backhanded. Rotate through your
defensive squad for three tries per.
PROGRESSION OF DRILLS
Physical Play: This drill needs close monitoring
and should only be done in full game pads.
Defense needs to know how to be physical and
the offense needs to be prepared for the contact.
This drill is a full contact and impact drill which
will occur between the center line and twentyfive yard line. The goal in this defensive drill is for
the defense to keep the attacker from passing the
twenty-five yard line. Full defensive mode and
full contact is required for this drill.
PROGRESSION OF DRILLS
Defensive Footwork Drill: Place speed
ladder and speed sticks on the ground. Set
them up in forward and side movements.
The drill takes your defense over the speed
ladder forward and backwards. The use of
the speed sticks will have the defense
running laterally lifting their feet off the
ground. Run this for three minutes with one
minute rest periods.
PROGRESSION OF DRILLS
Defense Round About: This is a quick and
agility drill that will have your triangle. The
players will work around the offensive
player in quick successions protecting
against incoming passes from an external
player passing into the offensive player. Use
of the field hockey stick is important tool to
defend the incoming pass or the use of the
cleat.
