About Polocrosse
The game Polocrosse is a combination of polo, la crosse and netball. It is played on horseback, each rider using a cane stick, made up of a cane shaft to which attached is a squash racquet type head with a loose twisted thread net, in which the ball is carried.
The stick may be of any length, usually 102 to 116cm overall. The ball is made of a thick- skinned sponge rubber approximately 31cm in circumference. Each player is permitted only one pony in each match of tournament, except in case of an injury when a substitute pony can be played.
Although there is no restriction to the height of the ponies used, it is generally accepted that the ideal height should not exceed 15.2 hands.
A team consists of 6 players, divided into two sections of three, who play alternate chukkas of eight minutes each, of which six chukkas comprise a full match, unless an international/World Cup when this is eight chukkas. The three players in each section consist of a number one “attack”, a number two “centre” and a number three “defence” player. The total aggregate of goals scored by the two sections in each team constitutes the final score.
