The primary objective in the game of polo is to score goals by hitting a small ball through the opposing team’s goalposts using a mallet while riding on horseback. Teams consist of four players who compete to control the ball and gain possession through skilled riding and teamwork. Each match is divided into chukkas (periods), and effective strategies often involve both offensive plays and defensive maneuvers to maintain control. A successful polo match highlights not only athletic proficiency but also strategy and coordination among teammates.
