We will be providing some materials to build-your-own official personalized mallet you can bring home and love, tools and mallet heads will be provided.

All you need to bring:

also i wanted to mention that Super Safety Sunday was an unmitigated success i want to thank everyone who brought their own, or donned one of my novelty foam safety domes!

Safety Sunday

Hello polo players,

Thursday's turnout was impressive, there were some new faces mixed with old, and all together we had some solid games

but with more people the chances of injury goes up aswell,

so in accordance with the North American Hardcourt Bike Polo Championship (NAHBPC) rules we are going to start enforcing a strict helmet rule

3 [non-fatal] head injuries in 3 months is 3 too many

non compliance will be deatl with swiftly and eggly

and of course i strongly urge people to obtain helmets for everyday riding, not just for polo.



If anyone has any helmet donations bring them to me on sunday and i will start lugging them with me along with the mallets and cones




stay safe, and see you on the court
-Josh
