Bike polo is a friendly but competitive semi-contact sport (You might come home with a few new bruises and a broken spoke.). Unlike your local footy or netball club, bike polo has no formal organisation or league. We are playing on Sunday in North Carlton from 3pm and next Tuesday in Docklands from 6pm till late.
Bike polo is open to everyone. We hold sessions for new players to ease you in and get you rolling around the court. Come along and we’ll help you get started.
We play on all kinds of bikes, from single speed, fixed and geared, mountain bikes and road bikes. Most people start out on their normal street bikes, and most regular players are happy to lend their bikes to you. Bring whatever you have at home and see what you think.
Mallets and everything else you’ll need are also available. We regularly hold mallet making workshops courtside in between games, so we can help you build your own custom mallet.
Bike Polo in Melbourne and Sydney is played three times a week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Next sessions including Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Frankston, Castlemaine and Albury-Wodonga are listed on the right hand side of the main page.
Melbourne recently hosted the first Australian Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships in November 2009. Some of the best photos of the 2 day Championships can be found here .
Here is a fun video which shows off some of the skills and lots of the crashes, courtesy of our friends in London. Here are more of our favourite videos. Enjoy and we’ll see you on the court!
