Polo Club
Our ever-growing club aims to provide fun and affordable polo for anyone studying at Cardiff University, as well as associate members from other Cardiff universities. The club welcomes everyone, whether you are an experienced polo player or have never sat on a horse before.
Training
The club offers flexible training, usually over the weekend, at Longdole Polo Academy. You can train as often or as infrequently as you like throughout the year, dependent on demand and how many people are interested. We aim to organise people into groups of similar ability to ensure that everyone gets the most out of the training sessions and experience polo in a fun atmosphere. Transport is available.
We hold a give it a go sessions annually.
Give-it-a-go session
This session will introduce you to hitting the ball with a mallet, sitting on a wooden horse to practise your swing, and time on horses, putting together all the basics you have learnt.
Competitions
The two main highlights of the year are the SUPA Championships which are stay-away weekend tournaments against other universities across the UK. Firstly, Winter Nationals is an arena championship held in February and, secondly, the outdoor Summer Nationals is on grass in June. Players of all abilities can be entered into an appropriate division in both tournaments. If you're not up to playing, you can still come along to watch and support. Everyone can get involved!
If you don't think you want to enter into nationals, there are still opportunities to play chukkas and tournaments. We play in varsity tournaments against others who train at Beaufort polo club, meaning that you can compete in a slightly less competitive environment with less people.
Social
Even if physically playing polo isn't for you, we welcome members to come and support the club's teams and be part of the social side of the club.
Our social events throughout the year are inclusive for all with a variety of activities and events, including:
- Nights out at the SU
- Day at Polo
- Game nights
- Joint socials with other sports clubs
- Sober socials
Please get in contact with any of the committee members if you would like to join the club or for more information. We look forward to meeting you!
