The Texas Arena League (TAL) will begin its inaugural year with matches at County Line Polo Club in Kyle, Texas, Saturday, January 20, 2018.
The TAL is a statewide polo league with teams playing USPA tournaments at different locations to earn points for season final awards. For 2018, three locations have been chosen: County Line Polo Club in the Austin area, Legend's Polo Club and Midland Polo Club in West Texas. Teams will compete in each location, not only for USPA Circuit Events, but also for points to be named 2018 Texas Arena League Champion, Most Valuable Player and Best Playing Pony. TAL plays 0- to 3-goal, 3- to 6-goal and club tournaments at each event.
"We wanted to create something to bring the entire Southwestern Circuit together and make more competitive arena polo in Texas,” said organizer and Certified Polo Instructor Megan Flynn. “That was the idea behind the Texas Arena League. All of us on the TAL Tournament Committee were involved in college or high school polo in the arena. TAL seeks to bring back that same camaraderie and competition that we all enjoyed in Intercollegiate/Interscholastic polo."
•County Line Polo Club in Kyle, Texas - January 20

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.
