Instruction at Polo Club Wassenaar

Ridding nicely towards the ball.

After you have seen the players play during one of the tournaments, you of course would like to give it a go too. Polo Club Wassenaar, the biggest polo club in The Netherlands, offers this opportunity. The club organises polo clinics and beginners courses. Both are led by one or more experienced instructors.

The Polo clinic is intended for those who would like to experience the sport. The club also organises clinics for corporate entertainment and staff days.

The beginners course is intended to get you really thoroughly infected with the polo virus. At the end of this course you will know for sure if polo is your sport or not.

Of course our professional instructors also give individual lessons. Even to experienced players, because like with every sport you are never finished learning and bad habits enter your game. One hour of intensive one-on-one training and you will greatly improve you game.

Clinics

Polo Club Wassenaar organises two kinds of clinics, both are intended as introduction to the sport. We organise clinics on set dates and anyone interested can enter and we organise arranged clinics for groups. If you just want to experience polo and you cannot get a group of like minded people together, then you can register for one of the set clinics.

Do you have a whole group, friends, family, bachelor party of away day, then an arranged clinic is more suitable for you. In this case you tell us how you would like the clinic to be organised and we will do our best to organise this.

At the moment clinics are planned on the following dates:

16 April

28 May
