Player development

Polocrosse Australia is working hard to develop a range of resources current and potential players, coaches and other stakeholders can use to build basic horse, ball and racquet skills.

In the links below you will find a range of practical resources we have collated from around the world to help you enjoy Australia’s number one team horse sport.

Beginners Handbook

This practical handbook, created by the American Polocrosse Association, is the ideal toolbox for anyone starting out on their polocrosse journey. It will support them in preparing themselves and their horse for a fun, safe and a perfect start to ensure success. It is a great tool for new players, pony club instructors and parents, .

Drills Handbook

This practical handbook, created by the American Polocrosse Association’s Player Development Committee is filled with fun-filled drills to help players of all levels improve their skills. The handbook contains drills for individuals and groups and includes drills that can be carried out on the ground and mounted on horses.

Club development

Operating with good governance helps clubs to run effectively and, hopefully, without stress knowing you are complying with funding bodies, Polocrosse Australia, your State or Territory Association or your State’s or Territory’s Incorporation Act.

The results of the Club Survey carried out during 2020 indicated you wanted help with developing a constitution, strategic planning, and policies and procedures.

Follow the links below for a range of useful governance-related resources. The following resources are freely available to us collectively govern and grow the sport of polocrosse.

National Governance Resource Library

Guides, templates and tools for state sporting organisations.

The National Governance Resource Library contains free resources and templates sporting organisations can use to help implement good governance practices. The suite of resources was co-designed by the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), state and territory agencies for sport and recreation and national sporting organisations to ensure they are fit for purpose and reflect best practice in sport.

The Library contains guides and templates to support the strategic planning process, resources to support board and committee structure and recruitment and tools for planning and executing core board functions.

Game Plan

The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is focused on improving the capability of sporting organisations to create an effective and sustainable national sport sector. The ASC supports club development through its free online platform, Game Plan.

Game Plan is a free online platform that allows sporting clubs of all sizes to get insights into their current capability in key areas of club administration, then supports ongoing club development with a suite of tools.

Clubs assess and evaluate their own environment, identifying their unique strengths and potential areas for improvement.

Volunteers are the heart of every club. Game Plan makes it easy for club leaders to assess and analyse information about holistic club operations, to make good immediate decisions while developing clear plans for the club’s future.

More than 3000 Australian sporting clubs across 78 different sports are gaining key development and capability growth through their use of Game Plan.
