National Youth Tournament Series (NYTS)

2020 NYTS Championships Postponed

After careful consideration, there are simply too many factors impeding the USPA’s ability to host a safe and memorable National Youth Tournament Series Championship® (NYTS) event for youth players at this time. The Association understands that many USPA Member Clubs have faced challenges with hosting qualifiers this season, so the qualifier deadline has been extended beyond August 1, 2020. The NYTS subcommittee is working diligently to facilitate a 2020 Championship to be played at a later date. More information will be announced to the membership as soon as it becomes available.

MISSION STATEMENT:

To cultivate and promote junior polo throughout the United States by providing the organizational structure to support junior polo clinics, tournaments and international competition. The program will utilize Regional Polo Center instructors, experienced Team USPA members, and other qualified instructors as mentors and clinicians. Junior Polo will also work with the United States Pony Club and other youth equestrian organizations to develop new playing members of the USPA.
