Island Polo Club Malta

Island Polo Club Malta Founded in 2015 by Steve Vassallo, based in Malta. We welcome nonmembers and visitors from abroad. Arena polo is a fast team game.

Players have to develop the skills of passing the ball to the others on their side and score goals. There are short bursts of speed and more maneuvering than in field polo. An arena polo team consists of 3 players and play is for 4-6 chukkas. Each chukka is 6 1/2 minutes, with a 10 minute break at half-time. The game was developed as a way of practising field polo in the winter, and soon became a

highly respected version of the game. Unlike field polo, arena, can be played year round. The Island Polo Club offers Year round polo in the sunny Mediterranean island of Malta.
