Virginia Polo

Club Description

Virginia Polo provides University of Virginia students with the opportunity to learn, play and compete in the sport of polo. The club is divided into three talent levels: Men and Women's Varsity, Club, and semester "Bootcampers". Whether you have never picked up a mallet before, or been playing since you could walk, there is a place at Virginia Polo for you. Our Men and Women's Varsity teams compete at the highest level of the sport and have more National titles to their names than any other sport at UVA with 23 total. Both the Men's and Women's teams won their respective intercollegiate national titles in 2022. The Club team offers students with less experience a chance to play fun chukkers and develop their polo skills. Like Varsity, Club practices weekly and plays against other teams in the area. Many students who began playing at UVA through our Bootcamp program will go on to play on the Club team! Our "Bootcamp" program is how most students begin playing at Virginia Polo. It is a semester-long, once a week program where students learn the rules of the game, how to ride for polo, and various other skills necessary to playing polo. No polo experience is necessary to join Bootcamp, and the first lesson is free! At all levels, Virginia Polo provides horses and necessary equipment. Visit our website to find out more!UVA Club Tournament 2020
