Young Players Ready For ACWC Exhibition

Younger players are setting a new tone for elite level Association Croquet with a special exhibition game open to visitors and press at noon on Friday, April 15, 2016, at the National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.  

Some, like 17-year-old football player Matthew Essick from North Carolina, grew up in croquet families.   Others, including the two teenagers from New Zealand, learned croquet at secondary schools in a program sponsored and run by the country's national croquet organization. They are in West Palm Beach to compete at the WCF World Assocation Croquet Championship next week and will go up against a field of 80 players from 13 different countries.

Selection Eights Day One Update

WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- The Eights kicked off relatively on schedule this morning, with only a slight delay to knock out the group photo. From the First Eight, it was noted that Ben Rothman didn't seem to be in top form, but no one was able to take advantage as he went 4-0 to start the event. David Maloof started the event hot, but did fall to Rothman 26tp-23 and he currently has second place in the First Eight with a 3-1 record.

In the evening, members of the Third Eight jumped over to the lighted courts and played well into the darkness to avoid pegged down games.

Anyway, the news of the day is that the National Croquet Center now has lights available for courts one, two and three. Sources here tell me that they would like to add more. No matter what, it would seem to be a huge benefit to scheduling overall at the Center.
