The Sport of Kings Awaits!

Embark on a new sporting pursuit this season. Newport Polo invites athletic adults — whether lifelong competitors or weekend warriors — to experience the thrill of polo in our Introductory Polo Clinic, designed for newcomers seeking a dynamic new team sport. No riding experience required!

Under the guidance of our USPA-certified instructors, participants will learn polo fundamentals — from riding techniques and mallet work to rules, strategy, and teamwork — culminating in a friendly scrimmage.

America’s first polo club remains at the forefront of introducing this 3,000-year-old sport to new players. Recognized by the United States Polo Association (USPA) as a leading instructional program, Newport Polo’s Introductory Clinics provide an exciting, accessible gateway into the sport.
