Como Croquet Club is a sports club located in Perth, Western Australia. The club is part of Croquetwest, the official website for croquet in WA. The club offers its members the opportunity to participate in the game of croquet in various forms, including Association Croquet and Golf Croquet.
Association Croquet is the full international version of the sport and is played by the majority of tournament croquet players. The game is played by two players or sides, each with two balls. The objective is to score 12 hoop-points and a peg-point with each ball before the other side does the same. Through strategic play, players can keep the advantage and increase their chances of winning by making it difficult for their opponent.
Skilled players can even win a game in only two turns.
Golf Croquet is another popular form of the game and has seen a recent resurgence of interest at all levels. It has simpler rules and is more interactive, with each turn being just a single stroke. Players follow a course, contesting each hoop in turn. As soon as one hoop is scored, all players move on to contest the next.
This simple concept leads to rich tactical thinking.
Como Croquet Club encourages those interested in trying either of these games to contact the club or use the contact form on their website. The club also offers other variations of croquet such as garden croquet, ricochet, gateball, extreme croquet, and kick croquet (toequet).
In addition to providing opportunities to play croquet, Como Croquet Club is also a part of the Croquetwest Management Committee, which oversees the governance of croquet in Western Australia. The club is dedicated to promoting and supporting the sport throughout the region.
