CommentsI found the clinic to be absolutely worth every cent spent. there was a lot of personal attention and catering to a person's specific needs. The clinic was handled with humour and passion, which made it an absolute joy to be a part of. I hope they come back soon, it has been the best clinic experience ever.
What I really enjoyed about Justo was his sense of humour and irreverence. He doesn't take this sport too seriously. With that, I was able to learn a lot, play hard and enjoy it all at the same time.
De las charlas sobre tecnicas, dos cosas me cambiaron el juego: giro del pie derecho para poder girar las caderas, y la otra, inicio del swing con el hombro y no doblar el codo. Sobre tacticas sobre juego como #1, colocarme del lado del taco del #4 y apretarlo para que no se venga con la bocha. Y lo principal, que es un deporte de caballeros.
Thank you very much for coming to Houston to teach us. I really learned a lot about hitting and I have a much better understanding about the game. Your clinic was very helpful to me and Colleen.
Completely changed my swing- I am hitting the ball 100% better- ˝ shot greatly improved. Today I learned at least 5 things that have improved my polo. VERY HAPPY! Thank you.-
Thank you so much for coming up to Spokane and helping us. You have such a passion for teaching and are easily approchable with questions or clarification. I think your are a very gifted teacher. I know my "2 things" I will incorportate and change about my game that I have learned from you.
Spokane I really enjoyed your clinic and I hope you will do another one next year!!
Just to say how much I enjoyed and how much I learnt from the course you did recently at the North’s. Count me in for the next one you do
Thanks again for the patient and wonderful coaching last week. I will try to diligently follow your excellent guidance and work on the proper swing! Most of all I’ll try to make it a fun thing to do. Harry was hugely excited with the whole experience and is very motivated.
We have all improved so much since you came, did mum tell you that she might move to a minus one!!! Hugo’s been doing really well too and Harry can now manage on the polo ponies.
We advertised Justo’s clinic as "Finally – a clinic guaranteed to improve your hitting accuracy and distance." And that is exactly what Justo did for the twenty participants from the Milwaukee and Madison Polo Clubs, ranging in skill from beginners to two goalees. Working with groups of 4 to 5 players for what essentially were private lessons, Justo dramatically improved the hitting accuracy and distance for every participant through some very simple techniques that were easy to remember and easy to apply. His boundless energy, teaching on some days from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., was contagious so that each participant got as much individual attention as he or she desired. His assistance at the scrimmages was invaluable in teaching team strategy. Every participant was thrilled with their individual progress – and looking forward to having Justo return for another clinic in 2006.
Justo is loved in Colorado. Thanks for organizing Justo's visit and clinic here. Despite rain, we made those attending the clinic very happy. Justo's sense of humour is very helpful. We hope to have him back next year.
Justo THANK YOU so much for all your help!

He coaches players at all levels who need to improve their games through private and group lessons. The hours of instruction are flexible, adjusting to the players’ goals and needs.
During the morning, personal one-on-one instruction usually takes place. Participants are usually assessed during the first session to decide what aspect of their play needs to be worked on. These can be any number of skills, such as riding for polo, aiming and hitting, riding off, team positions, tactics, and so on.
In addition, the PoloTips Polo Clinics will concentrate on how to achieve a proper grip, the key to playing polo. A good grip will help a players’ swing and. consequently, their different shots. This is why del Carril has developed the PoloTips Perfect Grip Glove, a practice glove which will guide in achieving the perfect grip.
Justo is on location for the duration of the clinic, full-day intensive lessons and practice games, which gives him ample time to watch clinic participants in action and then further help them with their games, especially improving their hitting capabilities.
Clinic groups are arranged to accommodate players of different levels with varying needs and points of interest. Those who have worked with Justo unanimously agree that he has dramatically improved their hitting accuracy and distance.
Both the International Polo Clinics as well as the Polo Clinics in Argentina can be scheduled any time of the year. Both are custom planned to accommodate the group or students’ requirements.
For over 30 years, Argentines have been pre-eminent in the sport of polo. But explosive growth in players and the availability of good horses is increasing the competitive abilities of challengers from many countries, including the United States and Great Britain. PoloTips Polo Clinics' main objective is to be a part of this revolution and participate as main conductor.
FOR MORE INFORMATION AND RESERVATIONS: If you are interested in having Justo attend your club or if you would like to arrange a clinic in Argentina, please contact us at info@polotips.com.

Although polo may seem to be an elitist sport, it's really quite accesible for anyone who wants to play. In most cases, you will be surprised to find that polo schools and other facilities exist near you. Polo is about as rough and ready as any sport gets, so be prepared to fall off your horse and get right down in the dirt. Equipment may seem expensive, but there's no need to go out and buy everything right away. Your teacher should be able to provide you with anything from helmets to horses, and as you start to get hooked on the sport, you'll be able to buy your equipment gradually. To get an idea of prices of good quality mallets and other equipment, I suggest you take a look at Nano's Mallets web page. |
Polo Rules You can find different versions of polo rules by clicking on the following links. Keep in mind that there are quite a few polo associations in the world, and they all have different versions (sort of like the difference between American English and British English), so make sure you've gone to the right link.
