With the newly formed Australasian Hardcourt Bike Polo Association (official name TBA) now functioning, polo in Australia & New Zealand is one step closer to be legitimised in the wider community as an official sport. While this will not affect the casual pick-up and weekly social games, it will help to create a communication bridge between clubs as well as maintaining a consistent rule-set and assisting in major tournaments.

The aim of the AHBPA is to unite and improve bike polo across Australasia. (exact wording TBA)

So far in 2011 the AHBPA has overseen the allocation of Australasian spots for the worlds championships. We are currently looking at ways that we can further achieve the aim of uniting bike polo across Australasia and improving bike polo across Australasia.

The Current Reps on the AHBPA are:

Sydney : Virginia & Brook
Adelaide: Neil & Tom
Perth: Prawi & Wall
Brisbane: Simon & Geordie
NZ: Nigel & Craig
GC: Bennett
Melbourne: Damon & Will
International Liaison: Lewis
