To all USPA Members and friends of polo,

Due to the ongoing health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic and recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) and the White House to continue to cease all gatherings of more than ten people, we have made the decision to continue the suspension of all USPA Tournaments and Events throughout the month of April. In addition, we strongly advise and recommend that every USPA Club suspends all Club Events for at least the same period. We encourage clubs to follow the requirements of your local authorities with regards to your club polo operations. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we prioritize the health and safety of our players, teams and their organizations, umpires, partners, staff and everyone who helps put on polo events. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will notify you if we determine a different course of action is necessary. Please visit uspolo.org to stay in touch with changes to the polo schedules, tournaments, programs, member benefits and USPA business. Visit GlobalPolo.com to view past games, highlights, player stories, horse features and polo news shows.

We encourage everyone to take precautions recommended by the CDC as well as your local government authorities and to take care of your families and loved ones as we continue to face these difficult times.
