And it begins!

Well I guess we will get to business.

Welcome! This is here to inform the public, not just SLC but all of Utah, that polo is here (it has been for a long time but underground) and is going to get big. We will inform you of local games and local/out of state tournaments the should be fun to go to.

These are a great group of guys to play with, a bunch of hardened veterans who love the sport and love newcomers. The games are taken serious enough to be really competitive but not so much that it takes all the fun out of it. We are open to newbies and hardened veterans (I am very much a newbie and very addicted also).

What do you need to bring you ask? You need your bike (any bike works fine, all it needs are two wheels handle bars and at least one brake. Probably not a good idea to bring really nice bikes it does get a little rough). HELMET capitalized for emphasis cool points are awarded for the raddest helmets, Dan wins this one no doubt, and well you don't even get to play without it. I also suggest a pair of gloves it will help hold on to the mallet and protects the digits. There are some mallets that are brought to the games but it is also really fun to make your own.


Salt Lake City Polo

Grass Tuesday night - 7:00/7:30 till we get tired. Games will be held at Liberty Park (1300 South 700 East) on the grass field in the center of the park. Enter from the 1300 South entrance and turn into the parking lot in the middle of the park.

Hardcourt - Thursday night 8:00 till we get tired (or kicked out). Games will be held at Liberty Park on the Hand Ball court between the Tennis courts and the pool. Enter from the 900 South entrance and park near the Tennis courts.

We are looking into getting Hardcourt games on the weekend also Saturday or Sunday it will all depend on how many people get into it. If you are into the idea comment or send an e mail so we can see how it goes. I would love to get this thing big enough we can have games almost everynight of the week.

I will slowly start to add a few extras to the blog here maybe some how too's, rules, and other cool stuff. I hope this helps the sport grow in Utah we really need it.

Thanks for reading the first post of the Salt Lake City Polo blogastavaganza tell all about it and lets get this partay started!
