Polocrosse is a combination of polo and lacrosse. It is a team sport played on horseback and players use racquets with a square or round head and loose net to pick up, carry, throw, catch and bounce a soft sponge ball. Two sections of three players play against each other with the aim to score the most goals.
Each player only needs one horse to play a match of polocrosse.
At the top level, it is a fast paced and very exciting sport to both watch and play, with both players and horses showing some amazing moves. At all levels it is a lot of fun and teaches Pony Club members a number of very useful skills, improves their balance and confidence and it can also give a great understanding on why having a well trained and responsive horse is important.
A relatively new sport for our Branch and we are keen to get teams together. Hollie Cartwright is our Branch Coach and we are supported by the Area 9 Coach Laura Scott.
The Branch have our own kit so why not come and give it a try?
