Croquet is one of the few sports that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, regardless of their background or gender. It provides an equal playing field for everyone involved, whether they are teenagers, retired individuals, single, or part of a family. Not only is croquet easy to learn, but it also offers a mental challenge while providing a safe and injury-free way to exercise the body. Whether played socially or competitively, croquet helps individuals meet their exercise goals recommended by health professionals, all while satisfying their competitive spirit.
