The goal of the Middle School League is to provide a venue for younger players to gain more tournament experience, while allowing them to play against competitors of their same ability. Eligible players must be enrolled in an academic program as a fifth through eighth grade student and will be entered as an individual. Players are responsible for bringing or leasing appropriate horses for the tournament, as the split string format is not used. Player applications are accepted on a rolling basis by the tournament.

The suspension of USPA Tournaments and Events will be lifted for USPA Member Clubs in locales where hosting polo matches and tournaments is permitted under applicable state and local laws, executive orders and similar decrees. The USPA Member Clubs in these locales are encouraged to follow all such requirements of their state and local authorities with respect to polo operations. In addition, we also encourage all USPA Member Clubs to take the precautions recommended by the CDC.

We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will notify you if we determine a different course of action is necessary.
