New Player Resources
North American Polo Camp was once run by polo companies but is now revived by a grass roots effort of a new generation of players focused on fierce competition and even fiercer inclusiveness lead by the great Bex (Austin)!
Ash Scholarship - a scholarship was created for Women/Trans/Femme/Non-Binary Players in loving memory of our dear friend Ash.
Why is it hard to be new?
"This is completely new, you've never done it before so cut yourself some slack, find the courage to be bad and you'll get good." Ryan
"Everyone starts on different levels of being bad at it. To get good it takes practice practice practice... but don't over do it."
"The problem is many clubs are not bringing in new players mostly because our sport has very high level of entry in skill and cost now. This requires the local club to be very active, organized, and have the resources to support and develop new players. Spare bikes, regular schedules, newbee nights are all pretty impossible when you are just struggling to find 6 and space to play." reddit user
Wait a minute then why do you play?
"When I get in the flow I feel like I'm floating, my mind goes quiet, my brain and my body do their thing." John
"It's fun and it's a great workout." James
"I've met people from all over the world I know if I travel I can tap into a network of bike punks and have a couch to crash on." Hit em in the face documentary
