What is Polo?
Polo is a sport that combines elements of many different team sports. It is played on horseback and has been a sport in all parts of the world for thousands of years, although it is practised in smaller forms in many cultures. The game is divided into two halves of 15 minutes, with a short half-time break between them. Both halves are played by two teams of eight players on horseback. Each team carries a small ball that they try to manoeuvre into the opposing team’s goal.
How to Play Polo
There are a few different ways you can play a game of polo. Depending on the rules of the game being played, you can play a traditional game on a field, a game on a large field with a large goal, or a game on a smaller field with a smaller goal.
A game on a field is played according to the following rules: Two teams of eight players on horseback play two 15-minute halves. The teams consist of two forwards, two centres, and two backs. The forwards are the players who try to score goals with the ball. The centres are the players who act as a “link” between the forwards and the backs, and help to move the ball around. The backs are the players who try to protect the goal with a wall, and who try to get out of the way of the other team.
The teams are separated by a goal line, with the goal at either end of the field. When the game begins, the ball is placed in the centre of the field between the two teams. Play begins with the forwards who, using their horse and stick, try to move the ball towards their own goal by hitting the ball off a wall or the ground, and passing it to a teammate.
The centre then passes the ball on to one of the other two players on the team. The other two players then try to get the ball through the opposing team and into their own goal.
