Segway Polo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Segway Polo is a team sport which started to gain some measure of popularity after being played by members of the Bay Area Segway Enthusiasts Group (Bay Area SEG) in 2004. Bay Area SEG wasn't the first to play polo on a Segway HT; another team played at a Minnesota Vikings half time.
It is similar to horse polo, except that instead of playing on horseback, each player rides a Segway HT or PT on the field. The rules have been adapted from bicycle polo and horse polo. The opposing teams' players hit a ball with their mallets, trying to get the ball into the other team's goal. Although not a major sport, Segway Polo is gaining popularity and teams have begun forming in the United States, Spain and New Zealand among others. Some of these teams have started to compete against each other.
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, is known to regularly play Segway Polo.[1]
