WELLINGTON, FL – January 21, 2013 – Nearly 100 junior polo players competed Monday in the Joanna Monaco Memorial Tournament at Grand Champions Polo Club.
After seven hours of competing at various levels of polo, the future looks bright for the next generation of polo players.
“I think with the increased number of participants, every year we are noticing a big difference in the skill level of the kids,” said Melissa Ganzi, who along with husband Marc provided two well-manicured polo fields, horses for some of the juniors and CheGrill Food Truck to the Polo Training Foundation’s annual event.
“The kids are improving and moving up in each level,” Ganzi said. “Kids that were in the intermediate level are now moving into the advanced level.
“The kids know the rules and they play safe and strategic polo I am really encouraged about the future of American polo as well as just polo in general.”
