Our Polo School has a string of seasoned polo ponies and experienced instructors who can teach you the basics of the game. A brief overview of our multiple polo programs follows.
Arena Program
Adult students begin with lessons in the arena. They are taught how to hold and swing the while being taught game strategy and rules. Scrimmages are incorporated into the lessons so students can practice their skills while learning how to play polo. Professional Polo Player, Domingo Questel, and other instructors are teaching in the arena lesson programs.
The Coaching League
Once you have learned the fundamentals of the game you can move up to the Coaching League where two instructors teach you how to play polo on the grass. This league is very popular and is an excellent program for players who want to get started on the grass. For more advanced students, Empire Polo Club offers weekend clinics and private lessons.
