Hardcourt Bike Polo (aka Hardcourt, Urban Polo, Bici Polo, Velo Polo or simply Bike Polo) is a fast-paced, gender-inclusive team sport played on a hard, smooth, enclosed court. Three players per team ride bicycles and use mallets to hit a small ball into the opposing team's goal while avoiding physical contact with the ground. From its emergence in the 1990s, the sport benefited greatly from in the 2010s' bike boom seeing the formation of international clubs[1][2][3] and the growth of a strong tournament culture.[4] Drawing from aspects of team sports and cycling, its unique blend of brutal difficulty, finesse, physicality and flow attracts spectators and players alike, creating a passionate and vibrant sporting culture.[5]
