Currently, the club has five polo ponies on site.
The Polo Club at Virginia Tech is one-hundred percent student run, meaning they do not receive help from the university in financing their string. The Polo Club at Virginia Tech is a strong advocate that, given the large variety of equestrian disciplines already offered by the university, polo should also be represented and serves to make the equestrian program even more well-rounded and complete.
The Virginia Tech team travel to participate in skill-building clinics and compete against other intercollegiate teams in tournaments and individual matches. The USPA has been very impressed by some clever fundraising ideas, so please take a peek at this week’s I/I Team Spotlight and consider supporting their fundraiser!ĪBOUT THE POLO CLUB AT VIRGINIA TECH: The Polo Club at Virginia Tech was established in 2011 with the goal to promote the sport of polo both on and off campus. Although college programs are eligible to receive assistance through the USPA COVID-19 Equine Welfare Relief Program (ERP), without polo being played, some clubs are not receiving student dues to support their programs. Even though many schools are back in session, some colleges and universities aren’t allowing club sports or organizations to be active, bringing some teams’ fall polo plans to a screeching halt. Due to COVID-19 several programs were forced to shut down at the end of the spring season. The 2020-2021 Intercollegiate/Interscholastic (I/I) season is going to look a bit different this year, especially for USPA intercollegiate programs.
