Guards La Aguada Youth Tournament

Youth Polo at Guards Polo Club

The fourth edition of Guards La Aguada Youth Tournament, the children’s polo competition organised between Guards Polo Club and La Aguada Polo Club, took place on Saturday 18 June at Guards Polo Club.

This event, showcased team line-ups featuring many talented young players aged between seven-years-old and 18-years-old. However, the importance of this tournament is that it not only reinforces the close partnership between two of the leading polo clubs in the world, but also encourages these young players to build lasting friendships with their South American and European peers. 

With parents supporting from the sidelines – many familiar faces from the high goal – players and parents enjoyed a fantastic day of fun and exciting polo.

After a morning of polo action and prize-giving, the day finished in the best way – with all the children, families and friends enjoying and having fun at a fabulous asado at the Guards Clubhouse!
