Subject: Proposal to Establish a Polo-crosse Playing Field
at the Ag Barn
Dear Mr. Oehler:
Kerr County is the home of one of the nation's largest polo-
crosse clubs. The Texas T-Bones has a current roster of over 50
members. The county has an even greater number of potential
players who would benefit from the availability of a playing
field at this end of the county. We propose the establishment of
a county-maintained practice area on county property adjacent to
the east side parking area of the Ag Barn.
Polo-crosse is an amateur sport which is family oriented.
Many youth are involved. Last year at the Waldemar Classic, the
tournament was attended by seventy-five players from as far away
as New Mexico and Colorado. Approximately half of these were
local youth. As the home of one of the premier clubs in the
nation, Kerr County could possibly host a national tournament in
this area within the next year.
The playing area required is 160 yards by 60 yards with a 25
yard buffer zone on all sides. The area in question appears to
be adequate in size to allow for rotation of playing area for
turf preservation. The existing stall area could be utilized to
host out-of-town participants.
Respectfully submitted,
Friends of Kerr County
Polo-crosse
