In polo a score is made when a player hits the ball between the goalposts. The objective is for each team to score while preventing the opposing team from doing so using passes, speed, and maneuvering. Polo can be played outdoors on a grass field or indoors in an arena. Outdoor polo fields are 300 yards (274.3 meters) long and 160 yards (146.3 meters) wide, with lightweight goalposts 8 yards (7.3 meters) apart at each end. Indoor polo fields are 100 yards (91.4 meters) long and 50 yards (45.7 meters) wide, with wooden boards to keep the ball in play.
