Polo lessons will begin on October 1st.
Two group lessons will be runon Thursday afternoons and two on Saturday mornings.
Each day will consist of a group lesson for beginners and a group lesson for more advanced students, these lessons will run for eight months, until the end of May.
Starting December 1st, adult lessons/ scrimmages will take place on Tuesday afternoons, these lessons focus half the time on skills development and half on monitored and coached playing, they will cater to adults only that are transitioning from lessons to playing regular club practices.
Periodic ‘matches‘ (once a month)will be organized to give the players a taste of competition, this will comprise of, wearing whitepants, team shirts, having an umpire, scorer and timer and presenting small awards afterwards, gathering in the BG club house.
These Tuesday activities proved very popular last winter and grew as the season went on, in 2016 they will only be available to club members and designed specifically to encourage our students to step up to a practice or progressive level of Polo Club membership.
The playing season will begin in December, starting with club practices on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday afternoons.
