Bike Polo in Worcester MA


My friend P.G. playing Bike Polo on B.B.'s Salsa Casseroll on an empty parking lot. (an unofficial Bike Polo rink). Unfortunately, there are no Bike Polo leagues in Worcester, MA, or for that matter anywhere near Central Massachusetts. If one were to play Bike Polo in MA, it would be in Boston, specifically in Allston. Currently Banzai Bicycle is searching for good locations for playing Bike Polo. But, it isn't easy to find a vacant flat area, preferably with surrounding walls. The dimensions of the court can vary from Basketball courts and Tennis courts, to Hockey rinks. One aspect must be though, consistently accessible on specific days, thus allowing scheduled events to occur without rain checks. Since gathering for a Bike Polo scrimmage and spending the whole time looking for a playing ground is not acceptable.

If anyone has good locations or ideas where one can play hardcourt Bike Polo, information is greatly appreciated!

Until then, this parking garage (unofficial Bike Polo rink) is great for practicing at night since almost all the cars are gone by dawn.
