The Florida sun attracted NYTS players from across the country, Canada and Mexico to participate in the Sarasota Polo Club and International Polo Club Palm Beach NYTS Qualifier tournaments. The Sarasota Polo Club (Sarasota, Florida) divided 16 players amongst two divisions. The Beck family hosted a lively party for all participants complete with a custom pizza bar, asado and live music. With the majority of the country still bundling up for winter, several NYTS players saw the opportunity to play outdoor polo while on spring break. The Polo Training Foundation hosted a NYTS Qualifier tournament in conjunction with the Yunghanns Charity Challenge at the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida. Four teams featuring some of Wellington’s rising stars competed using the new four team “round robin” format.
