CROQUET Justin Childs & Lee Battle

Nature and Purpose Croquet is a recreational pastime and competitive sport played on a lawn. The object of the game is to advance the balls through the course by hitting them with the mallet, scoring a point for each wicket and stake made in the correct order and direction. Person must accumulate 14 wicket points and 2 stake points to win. In other words, complete the set course first.

History of Croquet Noone knows exactly who invented croquet. It was created from various variations of games in history. It also does not have a direct place it originated from.

History of Croquet The oldest document to bear the word "croquet" with a description of the modern game is the set of rules registered by Isaac Spratt in November 1856 with the Stationers' Company in London. The first explanation is that the ancestral game was introduced to Britain from France during the reign of Charles II of England, and was played under the name of paille maille or pall mall, derived ultimately from Latin words for "ball and mallet". First outdoor game played by women in the USA

Basic Rules & Regulations Coin Toss Determines who goes first You then pick your color ball, which will determine your order. Four balls are played by two sides (singlestwo players competing against each other playing two balls each; or doublestwo sides of two players each). The side winning the coin toss has the choice of playing first and third with blue/black or second and fourth with red/yellow. The order of play throughout the game is blue, red, black, yellow.

Basic Rules & Regulations Many croquet players like to play singles with only one ball per side, the winner being the player who advances his or her ball around the court first. This popular variation is played with the same rules as regular singles or doubles croquet, but any number of players from two to six can play. The colors may be drawn by lot to determine the order of play.

Basic Rules & Regulations All balls are played into the game from a spot halfway between the finishing stake and wicket #1. After all balls have started the game, play continues in the same order until a ball is staked out. When a ball is out of the game, the remaining balls continue in the same order, skipping the ball that has finished the course. If the ball is hit over the boundary, place the ball one wicket length inside the boundary..

Example of Play

Scoring Process Each ball can score wicket and stake points for its side only by going through a wicket or hitting a stake in the proper order and direction. Going through a wicket out of order or in the wrong direction is not counted as a point gained or lost. A ball caused to score its wicket or stake during another balls turn earns the point for its side, but no bonus shot is earned as a result.

Scoring Process The striker earns one bonus shot if the striker ball scores a wicket or hits the turning stake. The striker earns two bonus shots if the striker ball hits another ball (a roquet). However, the maximum number of bonus shots earned by a striker is two

Playing Field According to the United States Croquet Association, the standard playing field size is rectangular shape measured 100 x 50. If you dont have the room, you can scale it down to your desired rectangular size.

Playing Field

Length of Game There is no set time limit, Just the first to complete the course accumulating 14 wickets and 2 stakes.

Equipment Croquet set including: 9 wickets, 2 stakes, Mallets and Balls Open Field 2-6 Players Optional: String and stakes to set up a boundary around the course Can be played in any attire

Terminology Roquet: When the strikers ball hits a ball that he is entitled to take a croquet shot with. At the start of a turn, the striker is entitled to roquet all the other three balls once. Push: A fault when the mallet pushes the striker's ball, rather than making a clean strike. Peel: To send a ball other than the striker's ball through its target hoop Rover ball: A ball that has run all 14 hoops and can be pegged out. Peg out: To cause a rover ball to strike the peg and conclude its active involvement in the game. Rush: A roquet when the roqueted ball is sent to a specific position on the court Rover hoop: The last hoop, indicated by a red top bar. The first hoop has a blue top.

Safety Procedures The only real safety precautions for croquet is to wear close toed shoes. This is to ensure you dont strike your foot. And do not swing mallet at one another.

STANDARD GRIP Standard Grip: The shaft is grasped near its top with the knuckles of the hand pointing forward and the thumb up. The lower hand supports the back of the shaft with the knuckles pointing backwards and the thumb down. The spacing between the top and lower hand varies with the type of stroke being played.

SOLOMON GRIP Solomon Grip: Both the upper and lower hands grasp the top of the shaft of the mallet with the knuckles forward and the thumbs uppermost. The hands are nearly always very close together. This grip is suitable for shorter players and provides a big back swing.

IRISH GRIP Irish Grip: The knuckles of both hands point back with both thumbs pointing down. The hands are held close together. The grip is generally lower down the shaft than with the other styles.

FIELD HOCKEY Rishunn McCaleb Errick Bobo Justin Childs Justin Canterbury

HISTORY

The game of field hockey, or renditions of the game have been played since 200 BC. It dates back to ancient Greece, where people hit a ball-like object into a goal using a long stick. The modern game came from English public schools in the United Kingdom around 1835. The Hockey Association was founded in 1886 and the International Rules Board was founded in 1900.

HISTORY In the early 1970s artificial turf began to be used. Synthetic pitches changed most aspects of hockey gaining speed. New tactics and techniques developed, followed by new rules. Women's hockey was first played at British universities and schools, and the first club was founded in 1887. By the early 1970s there were 22 associations with women's sections.

HISTORY Outside North America, participation is now fairly evenly balanced between men and women. The England Hockey reports that as of the 200809 season there were 2488 registered men's teams, 1969 women's teams, 1042 boys' teams, 966 girls' teams and 274 mixed teams. In the USA, there are few hockey clubs, most play taking place between high school or college, consisting almost entirely of females.

EQUIPMENT

The field hockey stick is made of wood or it can be made with composite material. The stick is flat on one side and rounded on the other and it has a curved head. Players are allowed to hit the ball with the curved head or with the flat part of the stick. The length of the stick is determined by how tall a player is. The stick must weigh at least 12 ounces (340 grams) and it can't weigh more the 28 ounces (793 grams). The diameter of the shaft can't be more than 2 inches. STICK

The ball is a solid plastic ball, it is slightly larger than a baseball and it has a honeycombed surface. It has a circumference of 8.8 to 9.25 inches (22.3 to 24.13 centimeters) and it will weigh between 5.5 to 5.7 ounces (155.9 to 161.5 grams) BALL

Players are required to wear shin guards and mouth protectors. Shin Guards and Mouth Protectors

The Goalkeeper is the player who requires the most protection. A helmet that has a full face- guard must be worn. Body Protector. Leg pads are lightweight so the goalkeeper is able to move quickly and have sufficient mobility. GOALKEEPER

Padded Glove and Blocker. The padded glove is used on the stick hand and is designed to protect the goalkeeper's hand while still being able to effectively use their stick. The Blocker is worn on the non-stick hand. It is made of foam, is flat on one side and is used to block and deflect balls shot on goal. Kickers are worn on the goalkeeper's shoes and they not only protect the goalkeeper's feet but also allows them to kick the ball. GOALKEEPER

All players wear shirts and shorts and women will sometimes wear kilts. The shoes players wear will have plastic cleats The goalkeeper, besides all of the protective gear they wear, will wear a jersey that is a different color from their teammates and the opposing team. CLOTHING

DIMENSION OF FIELD There are two types of outdoor field hockey fields: Grass and synthetic turf. While younger players often learn the game on grass fields, the days of grass being the only option are long gone. Turf is the only surface used at the Olympic and World Championship levels. More and more colleges and high schools in the United States are going the turf route, as well. Turf has changed the game dramatically, putting more emphasis on speed and stick skills. But while the types of surfaces may vary, the size, shape and overall dimensions of the field have remained the same.

A solid line marks the shooting circle, which is made up of two quarter-circles. It measures 16 yards (14.63m) out from each goal post and is joined by a short straight line at the top. There is a dotted line 5.5 yards (5m) from the solid semi-circular line. Additionally, there is a line across the field 25 yards (22.90m) from the backline. This is known as the 25-yard line. The penalty spot or stroke mark is six inches (15 centimeters) in diameter and placed 7 yard (6.40m) from the center of each goal. The center line divides the field in two at the 50-yard (45.6m) mark. DIMENSION OF FIELD

Two Halves, 35 minutes each in collegiate and international play, 30 minutes in high school play 11 players per side, including the goalkeeper The back and side of the cages are 18 inches high. Two umpires on the field officiate the match. An additional umpire may sit at the scorer's table. The ball must be passed or dribbled down the field with the flat side of the stick. A goal is scored when an attacker strikes the ball into the goal from within the striking circle. Players may not shield the ball using their body or stick. All players must have an equal chance to play the ball BASIC RULES AND REGULATIONS

SCORING The teams' object is to play the ball into their attacking circle and, from there, hit, push or flick the ball into the goal, scoring a goal. The team with more goals after two 35-minute halves wins the game. The playing time may be shortened, particularly when younger players are involved, or for some tournament play.

FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES INDIVIDUAL BASIC SKILLS: Each player must develop effective passing & trapping skills while in attack, and be very effective in intercepting passes and tackling when defending.

FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES The main methods by which the ball is moved around the field by players are a) passing b) pushing the ball and running with it controlled to the front or right of the body and 3)"dribbling"; where the player controls the ball with the stick and moves in various directions with it to elude opponents.

FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES Attacking Skill 1. The body position of the player should be very low to the ground, i.e., crouched, whenever she is anywhere near the ball. 2. Since the ball travels very quickly, and can arrive at a moment's notice, a player must keep her stick on the floor all the time. Therefore, the stick is held at the top by the left hand and the head of the stick will be near or on the floor at all times. 3. The stick is placed horizontally to the floor to make stationary traps. Two hands must be kept on the stick to ensure the ball doesn't bounce up and away from the player. 4. When trapping on the move, the player must trap in a more upright position just as in outdoor field hockey.

Attacking Skills Continued 5. After trapping the ball, the ball should remain on the stick, on the player's forehand side, with the player looking up to pass. She will not "fiddle" with the ball or keep the ball on her reverse stick. 6. Very seldom should the "slap" pass be made. Passes should be made with ball in contact with the stick at all times, i.e., you should not hear a sound when a pass is made. In this way, the passer will be able to disguise the direction of her pass and also the speed of her pass. 7. A player should try not to spin with the ball to get away from an opponent. The player should keep the ball in front (or to the side) of her so that she can be in a position to pass the ball.

TERMINOLOGY Attack (Attacker) The team (player) which (who) is trying to score a goal. Defense (Defender) The team (player) which (who) is trying to prevent a goal from being scored. Back-line The shorter perimeter line. Goal-line The back-line between the goal posts. Side-line The longer perimeter line. Striking Circle The area enclosed by and including the two quarter circles and the lines joining them at each end of the field opposite the center of the back-lines.

TERMINOLOGY Hit Striking the ball using a swinging movement of the stick towards the ball. Push Moving the ball along the ground using a pushing movement of the stick after the stick has been placed close to the ball. When a push is made, both the ball and the head of the stick are in contact with the ground. Flick Pushing the ball so that it is raised off the ground. Offence An action contrary to the Rules which may be penalized by an umpire

BASIC OFFENSIVE STRATEGIES

BASIC DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES Players must stay alert at all times while playing defense. Most teams play with 2 defenders. Defenders are taught to only block goal shot attempts when it's certain they can block the shot without a deflection. Which prevents an easy put back for the opposing team.

Spread across the zone Target the guards Cover the goal Be aggressive BASIC DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES

BASIC TEAM STRATEGIES

DRILLS AND LEAD-UP ACTIVITIES Field hockey defensive drills will assist the defense in understanding game flow and working together. It is important to have drills as a team. You can always work defensive drills solo and these drills fit that bill but more importantly these drills are designed for team play

The Wedge Drill Forced Backhand Shot Physical Play Defensive Footwork Drill Defense Round About DRILLS AND LEAD-UP ACTIVITIES

PROGRESSION OF DRILLS The Wedge Drill: This drill is based on defense moving attacking players to the outside of the field. This is done by having the attacking player moving up the middle of the field. The defensive player will meet the attacker and work to move them to the outside of the field. Have the attacker move in from the center line with the defensive player outside of the shooting circle.

PROGRESSION OF DRILLS Forced Backhand Shot: Have the defense line up at the top of the shooting circle. The attacker will be directly in front of them. The attacker will receive a pass and the defensive player will position to guard against the strong position shot. The idea is to give the attacker a time limit to resolve the shot which the defense must force backhanded. Rotate through your defensive squad for three tries per.

PROGRESSION OF DRILLS Physical Play: This drill needs close monitoring and should only be done in full game pads. Defense needs to know how to be physical and the offense needs to be prepared for the contact. This drill is a full contact and impact drill which will occur between the center line and twenty- five yard line. The goal in this defensive drill is for the defense to keep the attacker from passing the twenty-five yard line. Full defensive mode and full contact is required for this drill.

PROGRESSION OF DRILLS Defensive Footwork Drill: Place speed ladder and speed sticks on the ground. Set them up in forward and side movements. The drill takes your defense over the speed ladder forward and backwards. The use of the speed sticks will have the defense running laterally lifting their feet off the ground. Run this for three minutes with one minute rest periods.

PROGRESSION OF DRILLS Defense Round About: This is a quick and agility drill that will have your triangle. The players will work around the offensive player in quick successions protecting against incoming passes from an external player passing into the offensive player. Use of the field hockey stick is important tool to defend the incoming pass or the use of the cleat.
