its a funny one with do's and dont depends how you play...
When you first start off you will often find your self in the way and that the ball moves around you and you cant get hold of it. Its a good thing to watch a few games and size up people moves/runs. I think that this is fundamental to keeping the game flowing. T-boning is not acceptable but obstruction and slowing players down is a great way to start playing polo.
Then mastering the mallet... this can take a while as mallet length/bike setup/gearing all play a part in getting better at polo... various iterations of these set-ups will have you playing a lot better. (not really answering but useful non the less)
Reseting goals is important... likes skoots has pointed out in the past, polo is about manners and etiquette is key too.
Everything else is kinda learnt on court.
Marlon im sure youll be fine youve watched a few games know a everyone there (pretty much) just come by with your bike. Dos and donts are found out pretty quickly.
