Handicaps

If you have never held an outdoor or arena handicap anywhere in the world you must pass the rules test. The test is taken online. Please ask your club for the link and password. Once you have passed your club will forward the HPA a copy of the result along with their handicap recommendation, this will be added to your profile. You will then be able to log in and purchase the appropriate playing membership.

If you have held a handicap elsewhere in the world but never help an HPA handicap or you have previously held a HPA handicap but haven’t played in the UK for a season or more then we require you to complete a CV form. These can take up to 3 days to be processed. Once your handicap has been confirmed it will be added to your profile, you will then be able to log in and purchase the appropriate playing membership. Follow this link to complete and submit a CV form.

If you have never held an arena handicap but do have a valid outdoor handicap, please e-mail enquiries@hpa-polo.co.uk to be given an arena handicap. This will be one goal higher than your outdoor handicap.
If you have held an arena handicap but it has lapsed, then you will come in off either your previous arena handicap or the conversion from your outdoor handicap, whichever is higher.
