Gene Mock ~ Making it Easy!

POLO 101: A series! (AKA:  Polo:  So much to learn, So little time!)   Provided together by Kara Casamassina and Gene Mock, The Carolina Real Estate Company, Aiken SC.  

Throw-In, Roll-In...

Play ball!  At the start of play, the umpire rolls in the ball.   (there is a roll-in to resume play after a time out, as well)

Each team lines up (in numerical order {1-2-3-4}) directly behind the other.   The opposing team lines up the same way - and the umpire rolls the ball between the two teams, and play begins.            

The Object of The Game: 

In polo (as with other sports involving a ball), the object is to move the ball downfield by hitting the ball through the goal posts for a score.  Polo teams then change direction after EACH goal in order to compensate for field and wind conditions.

Whichever team has the most goals at the end of play is the winner.    And to the winner goes the spoils!    MVP'S and other awards are given to both HORSES and PLAYERS !

Watch for more posts in this series.

Every sport has its ‘timed periods'.    Football has quarters.....baseball has innings....  Polo is no different. -  it has 'timed periods', too - and they are called: Chukkers.   (sounds like plucker...but with a ‘ch' )

Here's the deal:

A polo match lasts about an hour and a half - and is played in 6 chukkers.

Each chukker is 7 minutes long.  (a bell rings to indicate 30 seconds left - - -and then a horn sounds to end the chukker.)   

There is a 3 minute break between chukkers.  If you watch the players during the break you will see they are just like any other athlete. 

Off come the helmets - sweaty brows get wiped -  down goes the water/Gatorade - equipment is checked over - strategy discussed -  a new horse is mounted...and off they go!

Ok, so not all other athletes mount a horse - - - but they do replace the baseballs / tennis balls / footballs as needed during the match!  I guess, in a sense - the polo pony is like a piece of equipment. (the most important piece)
