About Polocrosse
Polocrosse is a fast-paced, skillful and exciting game played on horseback.
It presents an incomparable athletic challenge involving speed and stamina, and also demands lightning quick reflexes in both horse and rider.

Polocrosse is one of only three sports that Australia can truly claim as its own; the others being Australian Rules Football and Campdrafting.

In 1938, the sport was created by Mr & Mrs Edward Hirst from Sydney. After visiting England, where they witnessed an indoor horse exercise used to help young riders take better charge of their horses, they developed the exciting horse sport we see today. To read the full history click here

Being a sport the whole family can play, Polocrosse caters for everyone from the expert 'A Grade' and elite player to the once a year 'casual' player. Polocrosse has Mini Junior (non-competitive), Sub Junior, Junior, Intermediate, Open & Masters levels. Some levels have separate men, women and mixed competition, however it is one of the few sports where male and female players can compete equally
in the same team.
