The Villages Polo
Players Fund

Established to assist players, groomers and ponies,
the VPPF is a vital resource available for financially
challenging situations.
"When a player's mother was dying a year and a
half ago, he was going back and forth to England,"
Wasman explained. "It was prohibitive for him, so the
fund helped him with those expenses. The majority of
our fundraising benefits VPPF, including our auctions.
We collect donated jerseys, mallets and items for bid."
"Our goal is to contribute as much as we can so the
funds are there when they're needed. We know it's a
great cause," Hester added. "The bottom line is polo."
Countless fans and Villages Polo Booster Club
members agree - a little horseplay is a lot of fun.

TERMS
to Know
Bump

When a player attempts to thwart another player's
shot by riding into him or her. The angle of collision
must be no more than 45 degrees. The faster the
horse travels, the smaller the angle must be.

Knock-In
If a team hits the ball across an opponent's backline
in an offensive drive, the defending team resumes
the game with a free hit from their backline.

Hooking
When a player spoils another's shot by putting his
mallet in the path of the striking player's mallet.

Out of Bounds
The ball is considered out of bounds when it crosses
the sideline or goes over the sideboards.

Line of the Ball
When a player hits the ball, an imaginary line is
established in the direction the ball is traveling. This
line serves a vital purpose, as it acts as a dividing line
on a highway and determines the right of way for
players, keeping the game as safe as possible. Players
cannot cross in front of the rider who is making
a play, once the line is established. Players can,
however, steal the right of way.

Penalty
After a foul, the opposing team is granted a free hit
toward the goal from a set distance.

Ride-Off
When two riders attempt to push each other off the
line of the ball to prevent the other from striking.
