Polo Fun Facts!

  • Polo is thought to be the world’s oldest team sport, with origins in Persia (modern day Iran). However, sometimes they would play with a human head instead of a ball, yikes!
  • Players must play with their right hand, (sorry lefties!)
  • Polo fields are usually situated north to south, so the sun does not get in the players eyes. Players switch directions after every goal. This tradition is thought to have started to compensate for wind conditions.
  • A polo field is about 300 yards long, and 160 yards wide, 10 acres. You could fit 9.5 football fields in one polo field!
  • A typical polo match is four chukkers. (Similar to four quarters in basketball). Each chukker is seven minutes long. We often play more than four chukkers at Play Polo Club, to offer every member playing time.
