United States Croquet Association

About United States Croquet Association

Organized in 1977 by Jack Osborn, the USCA established croquet as a serious sport in America and remains the primary organizing force behind its growth and development. The USCA has nearly 300 member clubs and 3,000 members, sanctioning hundreds of local, regional, national and international tournaments each year. Much of the recent growth has been at golf clubs and resorts and in municipal parks where croquet has added to a mix of sports and leisure activities.

The mission of the USCA is to promote the growth and enjoyment of Croquet, and to govern the sport in America.

The USCA has a full-time office staff which keeps regular weekday hours. We welcome calls or e-mails requesting information on all aspects of croquet, including information on starting a club and on local contacts to instruct and advise you. The staff will also gladly offer advice, print resources, and consulting on lawn construction and maintenance.
