Learn to play polo in our regulation-size polo arena which is crowned in the center for optimal drainage during rainy periods. The footing is a blend of M-10 decomposed granite and sand to create a good playing surface for both horse and player. We have an electronic scoreboard with digital clock, sound system with satellite radio, remote controlled electric gates and stadium lights for night polo and events.
Polobear Polo Club has a polo school with horses for rent to student players learning the proper way to play the game, the rules of play and proper riding techniques.
We also have weekly polo matches and spectators are always welcome! Please contact Jolie Liston for lesson and schedule information. (404)328-8401
What is Arena Polo?
Arena Polo is played with three players per competing team on a regulation size field/arena of 300 feet by 150 feet, enclosed by walls of four or more feet in height. The game consists of four chukkers/periods of seven and one-half minutes each and riders change horses at the end of each chukker/period. Arena Polo does not require the large number of horses to play that Outdoor/Grass Polo demands. Many players use two horses, alternating horses each chukker/period. The Arena Polo ball is similar to a mini soccer ball, larger than the small hard plastic ball used in grass polo.
Arena Polo can be played indoors or outdoors, days or nights, under lights and weather permitting, all year around. This is an extremely exciting sport, with many changes in direction, high speed, and intense action which makes it a great spectator sport! With a qualified instructor, a new player can quickly learn proper riding and hitting techniques. Players are taught proper team play, how to hit a pass to teammates, and learn to anticipate opponent's plays and strategies.
