New to Polo? Here’s How the Game is PlayedThe goal is to move the white ball downfield by striking it with a mallet, scoring a goal by knocking it through goalposts. Polo ponies are actually horses, usually Thoroughbreds. Teams have four members, both men and women. The Philadelphia Polo Classic will be played with three players on each side due to field size. Players jerseys indicate the position they play. The player wearing #1 is the forward, and most likely to be taking shots on the goal. The #4 player is a largely defensive player. In between it all, #2 and #3 tend to control all the action, so you may see the #2 player race up the field, expecting a passing shot from the #3 player. That #3 player is strong on both offense and defense, acting as team captain and determining the strategy. Players can only hit the ball from a right-handed position. There are no time-outs except for injuries or penalties. There are six periods of play known as “chukkers.” Each chukker is seven minutes long, after which the players change horses. There’s a 15-minute halftime when spectators go out onto the field to stomp divots back into place. Will there be a Veuve Clicquot polo Classic 2022?All tickets 100% authentic and valid for entry!
