Introduction and prices

Ascot Park Polo Club

Go from novice to playing in a Polo match in just one day.

As part of the "Learn to Play Polo" Experience, your group will be led through a graduated programme of learning the rules and tactics, the polo swing and polo riding.

Then after some 'stick and ball' practice at hitting the ball from the pony, you will play some chukkas to put your new skills into practice and have some fun!

After lunch you can relax and enjoy watching the Ascot Park professionals play an exhibition match at full speed before a final afternoon tea and a Champagne prize giving for your teams.

Package options

The "Learn to Play Polo" Experience can be arranged in a Full Day or Half Day.

Theory
Learn the rules, discuss team tactics and positional plays using a board and miniature men and horses before getting started with the horses.

Crates
Standing on crates, practice the polo swing without worrying about the horse. Practice the four basic polo strokes under the careful watch of our qualified instructors.

Short Sticks
Using short polo sticks play a game on your feet to practice rules, team tactics and ball hitting. It's vital each individual works as a cohesive unit with his/her team mates to try to win.

Polo Riding
Mounted on very quiet, safe horses geared to your riding experience, to practice initially the riding then the hitting of the ball under instruction. Learn to move, stop and turn your polo pony.

Chukkas
Everyone has the opportunity to play a 'mini game' with an instructor on each team. The team scoring most goals wins. This is your opportunity to experience the tactics and team play involved in playing the game

Lunch and Drinks
And finally, a well earned lunch and drinks to finish off the morning and before watching the exhibition match in the afternoon.
