Since polo is such a complex sport, The California Polo School offers a student program that is dedicated to teaching the game of polo safely and effectively. The California Polo School offers both private and group lessons. Through the use of professional instructors and seasoned polo school horses, students learn strategy, playing skills and the rules of the game. A combination of lessons, practice games and clinics offer students an opportunity to learn in a fun and safe environment. Upon successful completion of the program, students “graduate” to a faster level of play: Club Chukkers.
Because each individual will progress at a different pace, CPC tailors its program to match each level of learning. You don’t need to know how to ride horses to learn polo. California Polo School can teach you the basics of riding while you learn to play polo.
We have 4 levels of players at our club:
- Developing Riders (students)
- Coaching chukkas (beginners)
- Intermediate chukkas (intermediate players)
- Club Level (advanced players)
Weather permitting; we have lessons on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
