WELCOME to The Villages Polo Booster Club
SAVE THE DATE: July 25 TH @ The Grand Oaks for a very special event!
SUMMER POLO
Exciting News, Lord Lyall and Oxford Polo Club has arranged for all our Booster Club members to enjoy some polo matches this summer. Our future players, Polo school students, along with many players we are already familiar with, will be playing matches at The Grand Oaks Resort, as well as The Florida Horse Park. These will be free to our 2020 paid members!
These matches will be held after late afternoon, when hopefully it will be cooler. They will take place in a covered arena, where there is plenty of space for social distancing. We are hoping to have these matches every Tuesday and Thursday and perhaps on Sunday as well. The Grand Oaks Resort will provide food and beverage for purchase. Please use your login page for details, times and locations.
OUR FIRST ARENA POLO AT THE GRAND OAKS RESORT
POLO AND TAILGATING AT THE FLORIDA HORSE PARK
A fun time was had by all. Thank you Boosters for all your efforts to make this first experience at The Florida Horse Park a successful one, for telling your friends and getting them to become members. After a rough start, we were wondering if we were spectators with no event, it all came together. The players were happy to have us there, and asked us to come back. Our winners of the tailgate contest, the ladies with the pink flamingo mascot, received a polo ball signed by all the players. These players are at the park every Sunday, at either 10:30 am or 6 pm. A Sunday morning brunch tailgate sounds like fun. You can get their schedule on their facebook page, Team Resolute Polo. They all expressed thanks for us coming and cheering them on. Please let us know if this is something you would like to do again. We would love to hear your feedback.

To provide an educational, social, fun experience in viewing the sport of polo here at The Villages Polo Club.
The Booster club provides members with many educational opportunities to improve knowledge of the sport, meeting and learning about the polo players and in general to foster member and public enjoyment of the game. We are a very enthusiastic group who shares a common bond in experiencing the exciting sport of Polo; especially, when our favorite player or pony or well executed play resulted in a goal scored.
