Did you answer “yes” to all of the above? Then you should apply to become a member of Team USPA!

Players are selected based on talent, enthusiasm and dedication to the sport of polo. The Team USPA program was created in 2010 to improve learning, training and playing opportunities for young American players in an effort to grow and sustain polo in the United States. Team USPA members have unique opportunities to attend clinics, lectures, and are mentored by top American professionals. Team USPA has training centers based out of Wellington, Florida, in the winter, Sheridan, Wyoming, in the summer and Aiken, South Carolina, in the spring and fall. The program aims to provide networking, learning and playing opportunities to foster players as the future leaders of polo in America.

Once members are accepted into the program, they will complete a core curriculum during the first year to help each individual determine their focus in polo. After consulting with Team USPA mentors, the new member will then concentrate on one of the three tracks, Professional Player, Industry Professional or Executive Branch. The three-track program allows Team USPA to tailor mentoring and training opportunities to fit the needs of each individual member.There is a major emphasis on Team USPA players giving back to their local polo communities with umpiring, teaching new players and promoting polo. Team USPA’s mission is to develop not only professional players, but also industry professionals as well as non-professional players who will be contributing to the sport for the rest of their lives.
