More real croquet courts are needed at colleges and universities. We are fortunate to have access to the excellent Craig court so near our school. And we are laying serious plans to build two croquet courts at Boar's Head Inn, a resort owned by the University of Virginia. The General Manager, Jorg Lippuner, who is well acquainted with the success of croquet at several American resorts, is excited about the possibility of croquet there and is working with us to see how we can all make it happen. These courts would make a huge difference in the advancement of the University of Virginia's croquet program.
American croquet needs to attract more young players.
We beat Australia by the narrowest of margins in the MacRobertson Shield 2000. This is the sort of player base we need to develop in the United States to rise to the top of the rankings in international croquet competition.
