Ople Farms 

Welcome Players!

The winter 2024/2025 interscholastic season is coming up quickly. After a super successful 2023/24 season, we are looking forward to an even better 2024/25 season! Last year our team learned a lot about the sport of polo and ready to compete. This year we are hoping for a repeat with more players joining us. In order to step up our game, I will be requiring regular attendance from all of our players! Polo needs to be a priority (second to family and schoolwork of course) if we plan to compete with the best in the nation.

 

Players are expected to attend a minimum of 2 practices a week. Varsity players are expected to play club chukkars on both Saturdays and Sundays when we are not traveling for games.

 

This year I am hoping to have an Open Team and a Girls team. Both teams will practice regularly together. There will be days that one team will play and the other team will be expected to show up to help and support. Teamwork and supporting the other players is very important for our team dynamic.

In addition to our weekly practices, we will be traveling to games/clinics through out the season. If you want to be a starter on your respective teams, the Bob Ceperano clinic in New York  is MANDATORY. 

Attendance alone does not guarantee you a starting position on the team, but commitment to the team and regular practices will be given very high priority when selecting starters.

In addition to playing ability and experience, to qualify to play with the team, players must own their pony or have a long-term rental agreement to play with the  team. If you’re interested in joining the team, please contact Libby ASAP to discuss the options available.
