Druids is extremely proud of its relationship with the local schools and universities and runs a number of coaching programmes and tournaments to encourage younger players.
The University League was established in 2008 to provide the more experienced students with some regular competitive polo. The league is played throughout the winter as weekly 3 chukka matches, each team will play between five and seven games over the course of the winter, competing to win The Exeter Cup. These are great fun and generate a lot of support from peers – a real social event!
This year we are excited to announce that UberPolo will be sponsoring the league.
