Bowen Polocrosse Club is celebrating its 36th year and is always excited to welcome new players of all ages. Whether you’re a first-time rider, an experienced equestrian, or someone returning to the sport, they’re here to help you have a great time on the field at their Fun Day on March 1st.
Polocrosse – the thrilling Aussie sport that combines the best of polo, lacrosse, and netball. Played on horseback by both men and women, this outdoor team sport is a fast-paced, action-packed adventure that brings together skill, speed, and strategy.
In polocrosse, each player uses a unique cane stick, designed with a net head to catch, carry, and pass a thick, rubber ball. The ball itself is around the size of a softball and can be bounced, picked up off the ground, and tossed towards the goal.
What makes polocrosse stand out even more is how it’s a family-oriented sport. The game’s inclusive nature means families can play together, in fact, it’s not uncommon to see players in their 60’s and 70’s out on the field versing their grandchildren, making polocrosse a lifelong passion for all ages.
