Training Camp 20th-23rd July & Friendly European Championship 25-26th July  bay of the Somme France

For all you guys out there eventually interested in playing  polocrosse in France IT IS POSSIBLE !
We’re organising a friendly and unpretentious training camp at our  place in the bay of the Somme (for those of you unaware, the bay has
beautiful, vast beaches!) from Monday 20th July to Thursday 23rd July. Friday is a day off for local sighseeing or beach or forest rides. There will be a similarly unpretentious and  friendly multi-level   tournament on the Week-end of the 25th-26th July.

The training camp will be an opportunity to have fun with a wide  range of riders all interested in the sport and is open to all from 3
to 103 years of age. We hope to have some UK coaches to help with the training camp,  though it’s not a sure thing as of yet (there’s still hope)!

If you’re interested or know of anyone interested contact me and fill  in the pdf form included. Just email it back, fax, post or throw it  back to me! Continue reading »
