At J F Polo Academy, we are dedicated to developing skilled, confident, and knowledgeable polo players at every level, from 6 years old. Whether you're new riding, polo or seeking to elevate your game to a competitive standard, our academy offers a world-class training environment grounded in tradition, horsemanship and modern HPA coaching techniques.
Academy Socials
Polo truly is the most addictive and sociable equestrian sport. Here at the academy we thrive off this, creating a fun, lively and welcoming environment with BBQ/Asado evenings after chukkas, ending with drink around the fire pit. We also arrange regular academy socials at some of the best locations that Chester and UK polo has to offer.
Events
We don't just teach polo, we celebrate it. Our venue offers a unique and unforgettable setting for private and public events, combining the elegance of polo with the excitement of live sport. Whether you're planning a corporate gathering, charity fundraiser, private party, or a social day out, our academy provides a one-of-a-kind experience tailored to your needs.
Our professional team also offers exhibition matches or polo demonstrations at a wide range of events, including country shows, open days and weddings! We have years of experience working with hospitality managers and film crews, including Netflix. Our horses are desensitised to lively environments, making the easy to work with.

Our Mission
The academy was set up in 2006 to make polo as accessible as possible. A pay-as-you-go system was created, enabling anyone to learn, improve and play polo at our academy.
In 2018 we collaborated with Cheshire Polo Club located in little Budworth, to help provide a natural feed of new players from grass-roots level.
This season (2025) we plan to enhance our facilities even further by building a 90m x 45m arena, which has recently been granted planning permission.
