Courses and Training

Beginners courses, lasting 2 to 3 days, are routinely run at Tidworth and are subsidised for serving members of the Armed Forces.  Providing you have the basics of riding (walk, trot, canter) the 3 day Novice Courses will provide you with the skills required to start your polo adventure.

Courses dates can be found at the Tidworth Polo website http://tidworthpolo.com/learn/

The RNPA also has a programme of training clinics designed to bring on the novice player to a level where he/she can play chukkas.  Finally there is the Junior Development Scheme which was introduced in 2007 with the aim of bringing on those young players who demonstrate the necessary ability and commitment to the sport.  Designed to increase match experience and team play amongst this cadre, a team consisting of three junior players, bolstered by a + Goal player is entered in selected club matches during the season.
