Polo isn't structured like other sports and that's a great side of it. None of the good players in London have had any structured sessions as far as I'm aware, they have just gained skill through playing with and learning from better players. This is a concern I have for random beginners sessions.
I would guess that most people / teams have done it the solo polo way to hone skills. I know my team did before our first match.
I've said that for these QR sessions, if anyone wants some pre- throw in sessions, to turn up at 6.30pm and we'll do some basic stuff before games.
If there's a call for other sessions you should do it. If it detracts from QR sessions then I guess it's my hard luck. But as I said, whatever beginners session has people serious about playing in the league or other throw-in sessions, again i'd recommend having experienced players involved as they will provide invaluable knowledge.
If anyone wants more structured sessions / training on a Tuesday, feel free to mention it.
