The Santa Barbara Youth Polo Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation Santa Barbara International Polo Training Center DBA Santa Barbara Youth Polo Association. Federal Tax Identification Number (EIN) is 26-0074661. which enables students ages 13-25 to be involved in one of the most exciting and challenging sports on earth. We do this by offering scholarship funds to the students enrolled in the Santa Barbara Polo School's Scholastic/Collegiate Arena Polo Program October through April. Because of these SBYPA scholarships, more than 40 kids a year are active in polo at the Santa Barbara Polo School. These kids are able to go on to compete in regional and national USPA sponsored tournaments. Without generous donations from people like you, this would not be possible. Thank you for your support.

A full 97% of the generous donations to the SBYPA go directly to scholarship funds for the kids involved in the polo program.

The students who have participated in the Santa Barbara Polo School Scholastic/Collegiate Arena Program have been from Westmont College, Santa Barbara City College, UC Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara High School, Laguna Blanca High School, San Marcos High School and the Thacher School.

The Santa Barbara Polo School is located at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club, nestled between the ocean and the mountains in Carpinteria, California.
