For a start a horse or pony is an essential part of polocrosse equipment. Most horses can play but they must be fit, healthy and be able to stop and turn relatively easily. They also need a decent amount of bravery to be able to push sideways into other horses.
Although it takes time for a horse to get used to the ball and racquet and the close contact with other horses they will become accustomed to it. The horse will learn there is nothing to be afraid of because the racquet has no other function than to get the ball. A player using it in any other way faces being sent off.
Obviously once you have a horse and its tack; you then need the basic equipment necessary to make you eligible to play polocrosse.
As it is a dangerous contact sport, protection for horse and rider is vital and no one is allowed to play unless they meet the strict safety requirements

So you are Interested in polocrosse….
Interested in playing polocrosse? That’s brilliant! The UKPA wants to see more and more people take up polocrosse and will do all that we can to help everyone play! Polocrosse is a game for everyone; regardless of your age, riding ability and regardless of if you are highly competitive or simply want to have a good time messing around on horses! It is a very fun, very relaxed equestrian sport and the only requirements you need to take it up are love of horses and the ability to enjoy yourself!
We know getting involved with polocrosse can seem hard; you need specialist equipment, there aren’t clubs everywhere and its a team sport so it can seem hard to take it up but never fear for we are here to help you! We can help you get introductory coaching and sort out equipment problems.
Even if there is not a club near you it is quite likely that there are players near you. Quite a few players live a long way from their clubs and so the club map (click here to see it) does not really reflect the distribution of polocrosse players in the UK!
So have a look at the map and if there is a club near you then contact them and see what they can do to help you. If there is no club near you or you get no joy there then the best way to get involved in polocrosse is to contact us directly and we can point you in the right direction!
The person to contact is the sport development officer, Iain Heaton, its his job to get more people into the sport so he wants to hear from you! You can email him or you can call him on 07799 360439.

Polocrosse has been played at Tansey a number of times since the game commenced. The original teams commenced play in the middle of last century, then again in the 70s and 80s. So 2004 was the third time in polocrosse’s short history, that teams have formed to do battle in this exciting team sport.Tansey is located 18km north of Goomeri on the Burnett Highway. The playing fields are bounded by picturesque Boonara Creek. Many of the original blue gums are still in place as they would have been on the two previous occasions that polocrosse was played here. Tansey is a rich agricultural district with local cropping used to feed the many cattle transported from all over the state to the feedlots near here

The Polocrosse Association of Western Australia (P.A.W.A.)
Polocrosse was first played in Australia in 1939, but it wasn’t until 1949 that it was introduced to Western Australia (WA). Bob Russell, of Kojonup, first saw the game at the Sydney Easter Show and after acquiring some racquets and balls, he returned to WA to form the first club at Kojonup. An exhibition game was staged there in 1950 in front of 200 spectators.
The Polocrosse Association of Western Australia (P.A.W.A.) was formed in 1951 with the first carnival that same year at Kojonup. The State was split into 3 Zones in 1952 : Northern, Great Southern and South West. Then, in 1956, the PAWA affiliated with the Polocrosse Association of Australia. Currently, Great Southern, South West, Central, Eastern and Midwest (formerly Northern) are the 5 Zones of the State.
In 1980, the Capel club was the host of the first National Championships to be played in WA. 1994 was the next time the National Championships came to WA with Walkaway being the hosting club. The National Championships are played every 2 years on a rotational basis around the seven States and Territories.
The polocrosse season starts in the midwest part of the State in July and finishes in the southern part of the State in December. Carnivals are full weekend affairs with all grades from A Grade to Sub Juniors competing for trophies. Small, non-trophy “One-dayers” or “24 Hour” carnivals are held for the benefit of new players, new horses or people just “having a go”. These are organised by the individual clubs as required.
