Arizona Polo Club to Host Polo Clinic
And Open House at New Arena
Offers Opportunity to Learn How to Play the Sport of Kings
S
tart your year off right and start learning the
adrenaline-filled, action-packed game of polo
and gain insight to one of the most thrilling
sports in the world.
The Arizona Polo Club is ready to start the second
half of the season on January 25th and 26th with
a new slate of dates and scheduled play times for
beginners and advanced polo players. The club is
offering coaching leagues, lessons and beginners
groups for those who are trying polo for the first
time. You can improve or learn polo under the
supervision of qualified instructors at the Arizona
Polo Club.
The club has new location in Scottsdale and is
planning its open house on January 26th, with
doors opening at 11am, where visitors can meet
players and ponies as they get ready to play.
At noon there will be a polo clinic for anyone
interested in playing. Those as young as 10 years
old can learn to play the Sport of Kings. No riding
experience is needed. The cost is $50 and includes
ground instruction, equipment, rules overview,
hitting cage practice and pony practice.
Then stay and catch the action at 2:30 with
beginners, first year and second-year players
followed by advanced player matches. It all makes
for a great day to spend outdoors with family, friends
and horses.
The polo club finished a new polo arena for the
club at 101st and McDowell Road. The Arizona Polo
Club will begin play at the new venue this month and
is seeking sponsorship for the arena.
“Most people made new year’s resolutions and
if yours was to try something new and exciting,
Arizona Polo Club has the right sport for you and
your family,” said Diego Florez, the Arizona Polo
Club manager. “We have people that started to
learn how to play polo two months ago and now they
are flying down the field. Once you try it you can’t
stop wanting to play more polo. We invite everyone
and anyone from the area to come and see what polo
is like up close.”
Sponsorships are available for the arena, teams,
tournaments and awards as well as partnerships with
the community.
Last month, the Arizona Polo Club hosted the
USPA Border Circuit Masters Cup at WestWorld
of Scottsdale.
More than 14,000 people last November year
got an up-close look at the sport at the Scottsdale
Ferrari-Maserati Polo Championships: Horses and
Horsepower at WestWorld. The Arizona Polo Club
took the field in a match against the Women’s AllStar Team.
Polo has in the past few years been featured in
such national media such as CNN, ESPN and CBS’s
“60 Minutes.”
The Arizona Polo Club has been playing on
the Scottsdale horsemen park field at WestWorld
Equestrian Park in Scottsdale since 1982. The team
also plays at indoor facilities throughout the state.
The club’s outdoor and indoor season is played
from November through April.
New members are welcome. Join the club and start
watching or playing polo.
The club is also available for special events and
matches as part of corporate sponsorships.
The Arizona Polo Club is a member of the United
States Polo Association and is one of eight clubs of
The Border Circuit (Arizona, New Mexico and
West Texas).
