Segway polo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Segway Polo)

Segway polo is a team sport which started to gain some measure of popularity after being played by members of the Bay Area Segway Enthusiasts Group (Bay Area SEG) in 2004. The Bay Area SEG was not the first to play polo on a Segway HT; a team sponsored by Mobile Entertainment played in the Metrodome at a Minnesota Vikings halftime show in 2003.

It is similar to horse polo, except that instead of playing on horseback, each player rides a Segway HT or PT on the field. The rules have been adapted from bicycle polo and horse polo. The opposing teams' players hit a ball with their mallets, trying to get the ball into the other team's goal. Although not a major sport, Segway polo is gaining popularity and teams have begun forming in the United States, Germany, Spain, and New Zealand among others. Some of these teams have started to compete against each other. The International Segway Polo Association (ISPA) has been established as the official governing body for Segway Polo.

The Segway Polo world championship is the Woz Challenge Cup which was established in 2006 when the Silicon Valley Aftershocks played the New Zealand Pole Blacks in Auckland, New Zealand. The result was a 2-2 tie. In 2007, it was played in California, with the Aftershocks defeating the Pole Blacks 5-0. The 2008 Woz Cup was played in Indianapolis, coincident with Segwayfest 2008. The California Gold Rush defeated the Silicon Valley Aftershocks for the championship by a score of 3-2. The Funky-Move Turtles (Germany) placed 3rd and the Polo Bears (California) placed 4th.
