USPA Programs
Hosting a National Youth Tournament Series Qualifier is a great way to incorporate local youth players into your club. The NYTS program was established to provide youth players the opportunity to compete with and against their peers
in USPA outdoor tournaments. At each qualifier, All-Stars are selected by an
appointed committee based on their horsemanship, sportsmanship, playing ability at
their current handicap and ability to play as a member of a team. All-Stars are then
eligible to be selected to advance to the National Championship. Clubs are
encouraged to run NYTS qualifiers in conjunction with unrated youth polo chukkers
for beginner and intermediate players.
The NYTS Qualifier itself has been designed for advanced youth players, those
capable of holding a minimum of a -1 handicap.
Effective Date: Saturday, May 16, 2020
The suspension of USPA Tournaments and Events will be lifted for USPA Member Clubs in locales where hosting polo matches and tournaments is permitted under applicable state and local laws, executive orders and similar decrees. The USPA Member Clubs in these locales are encouraged to follow all such requirements of their state and local authorities with respect to polo operations. In addition, we also encourage all USPA Member Clubs to take the precautions recommended by the CDC. We are preparing a detailed list of best practices for USPA Member Clubs as they return to hosting USPA Tournaments and Events and plan to circulate these guidelines within the next week. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will notify you if we determine a different course of action is necessary.
