The Fastest Way to Improve Your Polo and Raise Your Handicap
Wells Polo offers you a growing library with 3 hours+ of video polo lessons specifically designed to accelerate your growth journey in the sport of polo. The Wells Polo platform provides significant value to aspiring polo players as the knowledge shared within embodies the hard lessons we've learned over our combined 35+ years of competing in arena polo. This knowledge could only be attained by taking MANY in-person private polo lessons with an accomplished polo instructor (hard to find!) which is both time-consuming and expensive (value exceeding $5,000). Wow!
How can this be?
These lessons are jam-packed with information and are designed to make learning easy and effective! No time-wasting. No fluff! We want to improve your polo as fast as possible.
Our lessons consist of the leading techniques and strategies that have allowed us to win a combined 8 U.S. National I/I Championships and 3 U.S. Arena Open Championships. These strategies have been developed over our family's long history of coaching and competing in arena polo. Kelly Wells currently holds the record for most USPA Girl's National Interscholastic Championship wins, an astounding 14!! As a family, we've learned a thing or two over the years and want to share that knowledge with you, yes YOU!
We are on this journey with you and are continuously trying to learn and improve our own polo. Our mission is to improve the state of polo by making high quality polo coaching available to everyone, anywhere, anytime - because that's how it should be!

Testimonials
Victoria McGraw, Potomac Polo Club
"What's great about Wells Polo is that the instruction in the videos is very up close and step-by-step and the focus is on arena polo. Every other service available focuses much more on grass polo but not the arena. If you are a visual learner, it's a great way to learn polo!"
Kate McLeary, Maryland Polo Club
"Marissa is incredible with strategy. Brennan is a swing-master: he sees everything and gives consolidated, simple feedback that's easy to implement in the moment when you're playing... Kelly's lessons got me started and her kids are carrying on the Wells' tradition - their help and feedback has been priceless for improving my game, making me a better player, and giving me confidence. I'm so grateful to them!"
Kylie Beard,
Marlan Farm Polo Club
"Game tape reviews with Brennan and Marissa help refine my skills and elevate my game. Being able to analyze each play frame-by-frame with them made me see openings for improvement that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Revisiting plays to strategize and discuss showed me what plays work and what plays don’t work which is very valuable while learning the sport of polo. My use of the walls, performance in line-ups, ability to control the field, and my overall decision-making have all improved as a result."
Brynna Pilon,
Lakeside Polo Club
"Having just hopped into the world of polo three months ago, I quickly discovered the importance of visual learning to complement the physical experience.
Wells Polo offered a comprehensive package that covered everything a player could ask for. We started with the fundamentals — mallet skills and polo riding—which laid a solid foundation for my game. They didn’t stop there, though! Wells Polo dove into the intricacies of the sport, teaching the rules, arena strategy (which came in super handy during my first tournament), and even set plays!
Marissa and Brennan provide exceptional instruction and their curriculum equips you with the skills you need to not only understand the game but also excel in it. Highly recommend!"
Kelly Wells,
Marlan Farm Polo Club
"A Wells Polo subscription is a must-have for every Interscholastic/Intercollegiate polo player. Its comprehensive videos will help to improve players' skill set, knowledge of strategy and rules, and help with riding for success."
FAQ
1 / What's your refund policy?
We have an "all sales are final" policy. This is due to the fact that our platform teaches the most effective techniques and strategies in arena polo. This knowledge has taken our family decades to learn and perfect. We want to share these methods with committed and dedicated clients and we believe once these methods are shared, they cannot be unshared. Our product is so powerful that we fully believe that any aspiring polo player that consumes our videos will immediately improve their level of play, regardless of handicap or experience level.
2 / How many video lessons are available and how long will it take me to complete the program?
Our Arena Polo Accelerator Program includes 35+ videos that are designed to accelerate your learning curve. These videos range from 3 - 10 minutes long and are jam-packed with information. In total, the program currently includes 3 hours+ of video lessons. The videos can reasonably be consumed over the span of a week.
3 / Will more video lessons be added to the platform over time and how will I be notified if new videos are added?

5 / I'm brand new to polo and/or I only play grass polo, would subscribing to Wells Polo be valuable to me?
Our accelerator program is an incredible resource to both experienced players trying to go professional or reach higher handicaps and beginner players who have yet to take their first lesson! Additionally, even if you only play grass polo, many of the techniques we teach are universal and translate well to grass polo (ex. drills on how to improve your riding).
6 / What online coaching services does Wells Polo offer and how do they work?
Apart from our video lessons, we offer both online game tape reviews and 1-on-1 online coaching sessions. These sessions are booked separately from our Accelerator program and are administered via Zoom.
If you want to supercharge your polo and improve your decision-making ability, game tape reviews are a significant resource as you will receive direct mentorship and guidance by experienced instructors on what plays to do and what plays not to do. This can have a powerful effect on improving your polo. It's as simple as booking a session ($50 per review session) with us on the Wells Polo website and sharing your game tape with us via GoogleDrive. Boom!
Our online coaching sessions ($100 per session) allow you to receive personalized 1-on-1 coaching from our instructors. Any questions you have or any areas you want to dive deep into, we are happy to touch on via Q&A.
7 / Do you offer in-person clinics?
Yes, we happily offer in-person clinics and enjoy traveling to different polo clubs across North America to instruct arena polo!
