The Captial Region holds a Polocrosse rally (competition) every year to give the club members a chance to play polocrosse against other clubs for fun and to select the teams that will represent the Capital Region at the national championships. 

The following description of Polocrosse comes from the USPC Polocrosse handbook.

ORIGIN AND HISTORY

The Australian horse sport of Polocrosse was derived from an equestrian exercise in England.

During a visit to England in 1938, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hirst of Sydney, who where both interested in horse breeding and horse sports, read an article on Polo La Crosse in a riding magazine. Wanting to find out more about the exercise, they visited the National School of Equitation at Kingston Vale near London where the exercise had been developed to supplement the work at the riding school and to teach riders to take better control of their horses. It was played two to a side, indoors, with elongated basketball nets on the end walls. Realizing the possibilities of the exercise as an outdoor horse sport, Mr. and Mrs. Hirst returned to Australia with sticks (rackets), balls and rulebooks, where they sought the assistance of a Mr. A. Pitty, a well-known and experienced horseman and polo player.

After many hours of discussion, practice, trial and error, and many revisions of the rulebook, the three of them came up with a new and exciting game that they thought would be ideal for Australian conditions. They called the new game Polocrosse. Mr. Pitty then helped the Hirsts to give the first Polocrosse demonstration at the Ingleburn Horse and Pony Club Grounds near Sidney, NSW, in 1939. He showed those present how to pick up the ball and the basic principles of the game. Such was the immediate interest and enthusiasm that it was not long before all the club members were practicing the game. A short time later, a meeting was called to form the first Polocrosse club at Ingleburn, near Sidney. At this meeting in 1939, the first Book of Rules of the Game was established.

During World War II, the game suffered a setback, but a few members of the Ingleburn Club kept it alive. In 1945, a second club in Australia was formed at Buradoo, near Bowral, and in 1946, the first inter-club game was held. The game spread like wildfire and with such success and enthusiasm that Mrs. Hirst, then President of the Ingleburn Club, felt there should be a controlling body made up of representatives of all the existing clubs. These were Ingleburn, Buradoo, Bowral, Parakeets, and Wool. Accordingly, on November 14, 1946, Mrs. Hirst convened a meeting at which all these clubs were represented, and the result of the meeting was the formation of the Polocrosse Association of Australia. Since 1946, Polocrosse has spread to every state in Australia. The combined total of clubs is rapidly approaching 400, with new ones being formed each year.

Each Polocrosse season, the clubs conduct local tournaments which provide great sporting and social entertainment. Zone and state championships, at which all areas are represented, are held regularly each year, culminating every second year since 1986 with the Australian National Polocrosse Championships. The National Junior Championships have been held since 1975.

Polocrosse is also played in New Zealand, New Guinea, South Africa, the United States of America and Zimbabwe. Due to the interest and growth of Polocrosse, the International Polocrosse Association was formed on June 19, 1976. Its aim was to promote international competitions, to create a common international set of rules of the game, and to promote the sport throughout the world.

Polocrosse was first introduced in the United States at Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, by students who had been to Australia on academic terms abroad. Of the first group of women to travel down under, Kathy Nelson is recognized for returning to the United States with rackets and balls ready to teach others. Upon her return, she organized evening practices at the college for all interested. One student who participated in these practices was Darcy Deming, who went to Australia for her Academic Term abroad, then for an additional nine months after graduation. She returned to the U.S. to form what is now the American Polocrosse Association. In October, 1982, the Canadian Polocrosse Association was formed.

The United States Pony Clubs, Inc., approved Polocrosse as a resource in 1994, and in 1997, the USPC Board of Governors approved Polocrosse as an activity committee.
