Polocrosse is a fast-moving equestrian team sport that blends elements of polo and lacrosse. Players ride on horseback while using a racquet-style stick to catch, carry and throw a ball between teammates before attempting to score. Unlike traditional polo, polocrosse involves closer interaction between players and more frequent ball handling, making balance, coordination and control essential. When travelling abroad, polocrosse is typically played at an amateur level through clubs, friendly fixtures or organised tournaments.
ActivitySure can cover polocrosse when you are taking part overseas on an amateur, non-professional basis and in line with the policy conditions. As the sport combines horse riding, speed and close player interaction, suitable travel insurance is important due to the increased likelihood of falls or collisions.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to play polocrosse?
Polocrosse has a strong presence in countries with established equestrian communities. Australia is widely regarded as a global hub for the sport, with active clubs and regular competitions that attract visiting amateur players. South Africa and the UK also have thriving polocrosse scenes, where clubs host matches and training sessions throughout the playing season, making them popular destinations for polocrosse-focused travel.
Here's why polocrosse travel insurance matters:
Polocrosse carries risks associated with both riding and close-contact team play. Falls from a horse, collisions between riders, or being struck by a racquet or ball can result in injury. If you need medical treatment while abroad, or your trip is disrupted due to an unexpected event, travel insurance can help provide financial protection.
Helpful travel tips
- Hold the reins correctly and maintain steady contact with your horse to stay balanced during play
- Focus on good riding posture and balance, particularly during turns and ball exchanges.
- Avoid bunching up with other riders, as close proximity increases the risk of collisions.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment, including a helmet and any protective gear recommended by organisers.
- Always follow instructions from coaches, referees and organisers, and do not play if ground or weather conditions are unsuitable.
