Our mission is to provide polo to students from all walks of life & make polo accessible to students who have not had the opportunity to play before. The Boot Camp and Club Team (a large group rather than just a team really) are students we introduce to polo.

We strive to provide as much equipment as possible for our introductory players to reduce the cost of the sport with otherwise high financial barriers to entry. Below you’ll find “For the Student Players,” these items will belong to Virginia Polo and be used by our beginner players.

If you would like to extend the opportunities to new players purchasing items on this list in the player section is a wonderful and direct way.

We welcome donations in the amount of needed items or to purchase items directly use the links below and ship to Virginia Polo, 1082 Forest Lodge Dr, Charlottesville, VA 22903.
