Elephant Polo

Elephant polo is a type of polo played while on the back of an elephant. The sport of elephant polo has been around since the British first went to India and Nepal and adapted their horseback game to use elephants. Elephant polo is popular in Nepal, Shri Lanka, India, and Thailand.

The equipment used in Elephant polo includes a standard polo ball and a 6 to 10 foot cane stick with a polo mallet at the end. Originally a soccer ball was used, but now that has been replaced by a standard polo ball.

The pitch used is around three quarters of the length of a typical polo pitch. It’s this way because of the slower speed of the elephants.

The site of the World Elephant Polo Championships is Tiger Tops in Nepal. In Nepal and Thailand, Elephant Polo is played under the World Elephant Polo Association. They have strict rules for the game play and rules to protect the welfare of the Elephant.

There are other elephant polo matches held around the world, such as in Shri Lanka, there is a yearly elephant polo tournament in Galle.

ORGANISATION OF THE GAME

1. The Game will be played by four players on each team. The game is played on a marked pitch of "100-120 meters x 60-80 meters", using a standard size polo ball.

2. The game will consist of two 10 minutes checkers of playing time, with an interval of 15 minutes. The whistle blown by the referee stops and starts play.

3. The pitch will be marked with a centre line, a circle with a radius of 10 meters in the centre of the field, and a semi-circle, in front of the goals, with a radius of 20 meters, measured from the centre of the goal to form the 'D'.

4. Elephants and ends are changed at half time.

5. The complete ball must travel over the sideline or back line, to be out, and completely across the goal line to be a goal.

6. All throws-ins or set pieces must be off-side to off-side. Right hand for both men & women players must be the dominant side.

Both men and women players must play on the right side of the elephant. Men may only use only their right hand. However, women may use two hands to hold the polo stick if they so wish. If women choose to play with one hand not two, then it must be their right hand only (and not the left). Care must be taken when changing sides of play, in order to avoid injury with the stick to other players, or elephants. When the Umpire/ Referee judge dangerous play has been committed, a spot hit shall be given to the opposing team. All defending elephants and players must be 15 meters from the spot.

7. Teams may bring additional players, reserves, to interchange with other members of the team, as long as the number, names and arrangements have been agreed in advance by WEPA. Team members playing will be named the evening before a match. The changes, except in the case of injury where a replacement is needed, must be done at half-time when names will be given to the Referee, time-keepers/ commentators.
