Here we present our TWO most popular JUNIOR / INTERMEDIATE
CROQUET SETS for children and younger players. The
Holmwood Croquet Set is slightly smaller than our
full-size
garden croquet sets, but is still a very popular garden
set. The Sussex Croquet Set is the lowest-priced
mid-sized set of all, ideal for junior use.
If you are buying a set for younger
players, you may wish to buy a larger set into which children
will quickly grow. Another thing to possibly consider, is to buy the Sussex Croquet Set in addition to a full-sized set. This enables the older players to be able to play a good game, and the junioor palyers to join in too.
Jaques is synonymous with quality croquet sets. John Jaques
II won a place in sporting history, and a Gold Medal for
introducing croquet into England at the Great Exhibition
in 1851. His display there attracted such wide attention
that the game speedily became the vogue, not only here but
in Europe and throughout the British Empire. It was especially
popular in India, reportedly played by The Viceroy himself
with a solid ivory mallet, probably made by Jaques as part
of their finest set. The first national croquet headquarters was the Wimbledon All England Croquet Club (later to become the Wimbledon All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club).
