Almost anyone can learn to ride and play polo on one of Accra Polo Club’s safe and dependable polo ponies under the expert guidance of the club’s own instructor, Bilal Malawi. Bilal, himself a polo player and former racing jockey, has a wealth of experience and talent to impart to the club’s students. Accra Polo Club facilitates the learning of polo through its Polo Academy. The Polo Academy embraces students from those with little or no prior riding or playing experience, to those with riding but no polo experience and improving novice players’ riding and technique. After receiving a comprehensive safety induction, students will start out with an introductory lesson and/or assessment. Bilal will consult with the student to devise an individualised plan to become a polo player. Beginner riders may need to take additional lessons in order to ensure competence in horse control, required on the field.
More experienced riders can join one of the weekly group lessons focussed on Skills & Drills or Rules & Tactics. The course will culminate in a full polo match in front of a crowd. Graduates of the Polo Academy can become a playing member of the club to participate in weekly practices, if they apply to be a member of the Accra Polo Club and are admitted. Such applicants are entitled to a discount to the Joining Fee.
