The Inaugural St. Pete “Snowbird Polo” event will take place on Friday 12/31/21 & Saturday 1/1/22. The facilities are one 120’x 60’ outdoor roller hockey rink with rounded corners, concrete surface, 4’ high boards with additional vertical fencing, nets, two team benches, lights, and an on-site bathroom (Northeast Park and Paw Place https://goo.gl/maps/QjCJvEzifhLCG4xU6). We’ll be opening registration at noon (St. Pete time) on 11/21 for 12 teams (link provided that day).
The format will be 3v3 playing 15 minute games. We are open to short-bench (even some extended bench) teams but additional players are not required. If you have extra players, live substitutions are allowed but no special stoppage time to do so. You’ll be in charge of how you parse your fun. Friday will be broken into AM/PM brackets and Saturday’s format is TBD (ie. Double elimination, or pick-up followed by single elimination, etc.).
This event is our holiday gift to you. We’ll be covering the cost of making it happen. In that spirit of giving, 100% of your registration will be going to local charities. We are asking $90 for a team to register. If any of the first 12 teams to sign up do not pay by 11/22, we’ll begin offering spots to the next team on the waiting list until all spots are taken. There will not be prizes, but there will be certificates for the podium of “Winners”, “Almost Winners”, and “Not Quite Winning Enough”. For up to date information and discussion follow along on Facebook. Fun and fond memories for all! We look forward to seeing you!
