USPA Club Development Director, Justin Powers and Coordinator, Elizabeth Hedley were recently in Chicago, Illinois, to meet with polo clubs and instructors and discuss the future of the sport in the area. Among the clubs visited were, Oak Brook Polo Club, Chicago International, Arranmore Polo Club and others. Several polo instructors were also included in the meetings.

“Looking at Chicago Polo in its entirety and instigating conversations about how best to draft a plan moving forward for synergized growth in polo for the area, was the motive for the trip,” Powers commented.

Justin and Elizabeth look forward to continuing the conversation with current club owners and the area’s polo instructors leading into 2017 to formulate a cohesive plan.
