United States Croquet Association

The USCA provides information on starting a club and print resources, consultation on lawn construction, and maintenance.

Croquet in the United States dates back to at least 1853, with the first match played at the Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii, while the first known croquet court in the nation opened in Nahant, Massachusetts, in 1859.

[1] Although croquet remained popular in the Commonwealth countries, in the United States the sport devolved mostly into a backyard pastime with no universal rules.

[2] The USCA opened its current headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, in February 2002,[3] although the facility began hosting tournaments one month prior.

Named the Charles P. Steuber National Croquet Center – in honor of the Croquet Foundation of America president and 2001 Croquet Hall of Fame inductee – the center cost approximately $5 million to construct and includes a 19,000 sq ft (1,800 m2) clubhouse, 12 lawns, and 4 gazebos.
