and Sotogrande International School (SIS) have partnered to create the first elite polo academy in the world. This is an opportunity for promising athletes aged between 14 and 18 to combine world-class education with daily polo training in order to facilitate the dreams of passionate and ambitious students who wish to become professional polo
players. In a niche industry where there are unknowns for new families, SPA offers a roadmap and system to provide assurance and confidence that their child will benefit from the global opportunities, jobs, lifestyle and network this sport and community have to offer. All whilst gaining an outstanding and internationally recognised education, where students understand the importance and discipline of training towards elite level sport from a young age. This kind of focused and personalised approach to education is something the academic partners of the Sotogrande Polo Academy programme – Sotogrande International School – have been doing for years with their elite tennis and golf programmes, successfully propelling student athletes into scholarships at top institutions and their sporting careers. Finally, polo players can have the same opportunity. www.polotimes.co.uk
