About this page

Thanks to those who reported broken links on this page. These things happen with external links and I have tried to show this old page some love.

Removed: Radio Lancashire section.

Once upon a time links to World Class Croquet videos were few and far between. The art of filming, comentary and graphics was in its infancy, now they are easy to find for all areas of the game.

For this reason no new videos will be linked to on this page. But the links that remain represent a collection of the best early ones created and posted by the pioneers of the art.

There are several dedicated channels offering tutorials, entire matches in GC, AC, USAC and Innovations, all easily searched for. For example; (World Croquet You Tube Playlist.)

The CA Gazette archives

Not a complete record (earliest is from 1979) but items may be added in the future. Worth a look!.

Croquet Gazette Index 1904 to 1939 created by Oxford Croquet. Ditto.

CROQUET TUTORIALS

A basic overview of how the game is played

An interactive shockwave presentation which graphically displays the principles of the game

Simple 3D Lawn (http://www.oxfordcroquet.com/coach/3d/simple.htm) which allows you to rotate and zoom the viewpoint and drag the balls. This can be used as the equivalent of a 'magnetic croquet lawn' for demonstrating manoeuvres to a group.

Coaching 3D Lawn http://www.oxfordcroquet.com/coach/3d/complex.htm) as above but with demonstration sequences of the four-ball-break, triple and sextuple peels.

YOU TUBE Gateball

Ever wondered how the AC beginner feels when you start to explain a four ball break? Could you be talking a different language? If not try this Gateball video. Worth a look just for the magnificent stadium it is being played in (5:10). See some of the finer points discussed (53:10). Yoiichinichiwo.
