SUPA
was established to promote and develop Schools and Universities Polo.
Founded in 1991, SUPA acts as a central point of reference for advice,
guidance and encouragement. SUPA organises tournament, representative
teams and seeks to distribute financial support as far as possible.
There
is now an extensive winter and summer programme of polo for Schools,
Junior Schools and Universities. SUPA supports an active winter
programme of training and development, National Arena Championships and
regional tournaments. The Summer programme features National Junior
Schools, Girls Schools and National Universities Tournaments. All of
these tournaments feature beginners, novice, intermediate and Open
Divisions.
There
are on average around 20 players in each institution - with some schools and universities
having over 40 players. There are around 25 junior schools, 50 senior schools and 50 universities
involved with SUPA and well over 2,500 young players represented and
supported by SUPA.
