Arena polo

description Arena polo Overview

Arena polo is a variant of traditional outdoor polo adapted for enclosed or indoor arenas. Teams consist of three players instead of the standard four, and the matches are played on a smaller dirt field. The game utilizes a larger, inflated rubber ball rather than the solid plastic ball used in outdoor polo, resulting in different physics and gameplay dynamics. This format is governed by the United States Polo Association, which established an official arena polo championship in 1926.
