What is Association Croquet & How to Play it

What is it

Association Croquet is the game that is most widely played around the world.

Association Croquet is the full international version of the sport, which is played by the majority of tournament croquet players.

How to Play Association Croquet

Each player (or team of two) has two balls – blue paired with black, red paired with yellow. If a second game is played on the same court (double banking), the green and brown balls play against the pink and white.

The object of the game is to get both balls around a course of twelve hoops in a set order, and finish by hitting the centre peg (commonly called "pegging out"). The balls must go through each hoop twice, once in each direction.
