The USPA aspires to congregate and highlight the special-ness of the polo community and keep the passion for the sport alive. We do this through you, our members and member clubs who appreciate the heritage and history of our unique sport. USPA Membership runs on an annual basis from January 1 through December 31 of each calendar year regardless of application acceptance. USPA Members have access to exclusive content and special offers and can easily apply, maintain and update their membership through the website. (Please not that membership fees are not pro-rated.)
For those who come together to play with or against each other–we value camaraderie and sportsmanship–both humans and horses and those who support our oldest equestrian sport in all ways.
