How the Collective is run
Advisory Board
The Silicon Valley Polo Collective is a volunteer-driven, member-first community. There are no paid staff and no boardroom — just an advisory board of players and patrons from the four clubs, quietly making the season happen.

The people behind the season
All volunteers. All current members of one of the four clubs. Each brings their own corner of the community to the table.

Why we exist
Member-first. For the long run.
Our goal is to build a member-first community where the four clubs pool resources — fields, pros, horses, members and ideas — so that California has incredible polo for the long term.
From an entry-level lesson to a fast Sunday game to a tournament final, we want every level of player to have a place to grow into and a community that shows up for them.
Feedback is always welcome. If something could be better, tell us.
