Tactical Focus:
Protect the Object
|
 |
Set up a circuit as shown on the diagram using two cones for each “gate” or “wicket” and one cone for Gate 8. |
|
Each player has their own ball. |
|
Decide who goes first by rock-paper-scissors or some other fun method. |
|
Player A starts at cone #8 and attempts to roll her ball through gate 1. The player leaves the ball where it lands and rolls again from that spot on their next turn. |
|
Players roll in their proper order. |
|
Players receive an extra roll if their attempt goes between the proper cones. |
|
Players continue through the circuit 1-7 and are finished when their ball strikes cone #8. |
|
Other players are allowed to try and knock other players balls during their turn and that player must roll the ball from the new location. |
|
 |
 |
|
Use an implement such as a hockey stick or croquet mallet to strike the ball. |
|
Play in teams of two with players alternating shots. |
|
Change the equipment (e.g. slide a bean bag). |
|
Speed Croquet: How quickly can an individual/ team complete the course? |
|
|
 |
|
How can you increase your chances of rolling the ball through the gates? |
|
Assess rolling speed, accuracy, and shape of the ground. |
|
|
 |
|
Decrease the distance of the circuit. |
|
Decrease the number and/or size of gates or wickets. |
|
Increase the distance between the 2 cones to have a larger goal. |
|
Players can push the ball with two hands while sitting on the ground. |
|
If playing indoors, can tie elastic bands to the balls so that they do not roll all over the place. |
