Ten teams up to 8 goals, broken down into three leagues, will play the First Argentine Amateur Championship, that will take place at La Aguada Polo Club, in Open Door, Argentina, through April 1-9, 2017. 

 

This is a brand new competition hosted by the Novillo Astrada family’s club, that offers the chance to play polo to everybody, with the idea  to have fun and spend a great time with family and friends. The club provides many facilities to all those who want to participate. So…

 

…don’t you have horses? The club will provide you with horses

…don’t you have a team? The club will make up a team for you

…do you have a busy work schedule? The club will arrange the proper schedule for you

 

The tournament will have a third time; each player gets an extra point for their team, and all those who go with family and guests, get an extra point.

 

Fun and a good time are guaranteed with music, food truck, kids zone, awards presentation and closing party.
