POLO RULES AND STRATEGY TOP 10

1 The “line of the ball” is created once the polo ball is struck. The player who is closest to it, with the narrowest angle, has the right of way to approach the ball. The line of the ball acts as an imaginary buffer against collisions when two or more players approach the ball. 2 All players must play right-handed. The right hand is used for the mallet, and the left is used on the reins for steering and speed control.

3 Teams change goal-ends, or goal direction, after each goal is scored.

4 To start the game, the umpire bowls-in the ball by hand between the line-up of the two teams, at center field. After each goal, teams return to center for another bowl-in.

5 Each of the 4 players on a team wears a jersey with the number 1, 2, 3 or 4 on his or her back. Each number corresponds to their assigned position.

22 ELDORADOPOLOCLUB.COM ELDORADO POLO CLUB

6 Every game is officiated by two mounted Umpires, and one Referee (or “Third Man”) on the field sidelines. These officials are responsible for enforcing the rules of play, and ensuring the safety of horses and players. If the mounted Umpires disagree on a call, they approach the Referee to make the ruling. 7 All players on the field are able to score goals.

8 Men and women are in direct competition in polo; they compete with each other and against each other. While men dominate the higher-levels of international polo, the fastest growing segment in the sport is women!

9 A player may “ride-off ” (or “bump”) his or her opponent in order to drive them off of the line of the ball. This defensive play is similar to a body check in hockey. The speed and angle of the bump must not pose any serious danger to the player or pony, or a penalty will be called. 10 A player can interfere with an opponent’s shot with a hook; which involves putting his or her mallet in the way of the striker’s swing. Penalties are called for hooking an opponent’s mallet too high in the air, or for reaching over or under another player’s horse.

PEE-WEE POLO AN ELDORADO TRADITION

“There was a great group of instructors at Eldorado when I was growing up, and my father was very supportive and gave me some great ponies to play. I was extremely competitive and wanted to play against the big kids as soon as possible!”

-Fred H. Mannix

ee-Wee Polo has a long history at the Eldorado Polo Club. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, high goal polo ruled the club, and many sponsors and players called Eldorado home for the California P winter. What grew from the dedication of these polo-minded families is a legacy of Pee-Wee Polo that continues to this day.

Pee-Wee Polo at Eldorado has always been a family-driven endeavor. An active player and parent at Eldorado, Corky Linfoot, sums up the energy that kicked off the early legacy of Pee-Wee Polo: “This was not a build-it- and-they-will-come event. The circumstances at Eldorado were that a multitude of high goal players and sponsors descended here by the early 90s, and they all had kids of about the same TOP MIDDLE: age. The kids were keen to play, they did not need encouragement. So the players rallied together and started the tradition of Pee-Wee Polo every Saturday and Sunday morning.” Pee-Wee players showed Eldorado Pee-Wee Players in up on ponies borrowed from their parents: “the majority of kids could ride, and the ponies respected the the late 1980s: Joe Wayne Barry, Daniel Roenisch, Dawson slower speed of kid’s polo,” remembers Linfoot. Jason Crowder, a talented player in the program from Ludwig, Jason Crowder, Lindsey a young age, remembers playing big, fast horses from his father Steve’s string: “I think I got bucked off a Gonzales, Laura Linfoot and few times, but I remember always having a great time!” Matthew Gonzales. Alongside parents and families, the defining individuals behind the junior polo movement were Artie TOP RIGHT: Cameron Sr., and Joe Barry. These players showed up every weekend and encouraged participation Players line up for an exhibition and enjoyment for all kids; their dedication to the Pee-Wee Polo movement defined its success.

Janet and Rege Ludwig also played a pivotal role in organizing teams each weekend and fun tournaments and prizes over the course of each season.

For many of the kids who participated in the Pee-Wee program at Eldorado, polo became a lifestyle as well as a livelihood. The Where Are They Now? section on page 76, reveals that the legacy of polo entrenched in these youngsters at Eldorado served to define their polo careers.

The 25-year legacy of Pee-Wee polo is going strong at Eldorado today. In last season’s Artie Cameron Sr. and Joe Barry Memorial tournaments, there were more than 40 keen Pee-Wee Polo participants. The safe, family-polo atmosphere ensures that kids learn the game while having fun! The Pee-Wee program continues every weekend during the polo season, at 8:00 am on Saturdays and Sundays. You can experience the excitement of Pee-Wee Polo from the patio of the Cantina, and maybe even meet the next generation of international-calibre players coming out of Eldorado Polo Club.
