Polocrosse Victoria is a prominent sports club located in the thriving city of Ballarat, Victoria. As the governing body for polocrosse in the state, Polocrosse Victoria organises seasonal competitions among various clubs throughout Victoria.
Polocrosse is a thrilling and fast-paced game played on horseback. It combines elements of polo, lacrosse, and netball, showcasing the skills, agility, and teamwork of the players. Each rider employs a cane stick, consisting of a polo stick shaft with a squash racquet-style head attached. The head features a loose twisted-thread net that carries the ball.
The length of the stick may vary, typically ranging from 1. 0m to 1. 2m. The ball used in polocrosse is made of thick-skinned sponge rubber, measuring 100 mm-103 mm in diameter and weighing between 140 and 155 grammes.
In each match or tournament, each player can only use one horse, except in cases of injury, where a substitute horse is allowed. There is no height restriction for horses, adding an element of diversity to the game.
