The Advisory Board of NPC Polo Operations, LLC, which manages all polo-related activity at the USPA National Polo Center – Wellington (NPC), announced that it is inviting interested USPA Member Clubs, and charitable and other organizations that support the polo community, to submit proposals for polo games to be played on the U.S. Polo Assn. Field One at NPC on any of the following Sundays during April and May of 2023: April 30, May 7, May 14, May 21 and May 28.

Written proposals will be considered for games at the low-, medium-, and high-goal levels, international games, inter-club games, women’s games, youth games, and charity games. Priority will be given to USPA Member Clubs that have not as of yet hosted games at NPC, but any organization supporting the polo community and capable of putting on a competitive game is welcome to apply. When judging the proposals, the Advisory Board will seek to further the mission of NPC, that is, to be the permanent center of polo in America, create demand for polo, support USPA Member Clubs, serve the entire polo community and set the standard for excellence in polo.
