We are the State Sporting Association responsible for croquet across Victoria and Southern New South Wales.
Established on 18 June 1914 as the Victorian Croquet Association Inc., we trade as Croquet Victoria.
Under our current rules, we lead and develop croquet in Victoria by coordinating and supporting Association Croquet, Golf Croquet, Ricochet and Gateball, played in 88 clubs across 13 regional associations.
We are committed to ensuring that children who participate in our activities have a safe and happy experience.

2020-08-10  | GOVERNMENT SHORT TERM SURVIVAL GRANTS: Croquet Victoria benefits
The Minister for Community Sport, Hon Ros Spence MP, has just notified Croquet Victoria that we have been allocated $55,542 to help us remain operationally viable and be well positioned to resume activity when the time is right.
This is part of a $40m allocation the Government has made to support sporting organisations at club, local association and state level.
Croquet Victoria has been looking at a deficit on its running costs of about $66,000, as a result of reduced income from investments and activities, and a discount of 50% for members on affiliation fees. This grant will be a very substantial help.
Preparing the complex documentation required for the grant submission was a challenging task. Thanks to Kate Patrick, Sarina Cevaal-Hewitt and Claire Keating for their work on the submission. read more... | 2020-08-02  | No play in Melbourne, regional Victoria back to Stage 3 restrictions
The Premier announced today (2 August) that Victoria is moving to restrict movement across the State.

Regional Victoria is to move to stage 3 restrictions from 11.59 pm on Wednesday 5 August. For croquet, where players can be socially distanced, this means:
- social singles play only
- no shared equipment

Clubs in regional Victoria should check their arrangements for play with their local government authority.

Lindsay Crawford writes:
This is a good news story.
It came about because my wife Julee and I had her twin sister Wendy and husband Peter Robinson stay with us for a couple of weeks. They couldn't go back to their home in Mallacoota because all roads were closed due to the bushfires.
While they were with us, we took them to Ringwood Croquet Club (we are members there) and showed them how to play golf croquet.
They enjoyed it so much that Peter decided to set up a lawn at Mallacoota. read more... | 2020-07-19  | Face masks required for greater Melbourne
