https://maps.app.goo.gl/YNdav7R6xWzMjrVDA
Trainstation: Greifenstein-Altenberg (S40)

The camp is 3 full days and the Polocamp-Setup will be officially provided from Friday morning until Sunday evening (but it is possible to arrive Thursday night and leave Monday morning)

START : FRIDAY 10:00 (it is possible to arrive Thursday from 18:00 - you can camp but not use the court)
END : SUNDAY 18:00 (it is possible to depart Monday morning until 11:00 - you can camp but not use the court)

P O L O :
This is a POLOCAMP and NOT a Tournament!
It is supposed to be a space for learning & teaching!
We can officially use the court (incl. lights) until 22.00!

PICKUP-GROUPS
The Plan is to shuffle 4 Pickup-Groups each day. Each group has 12 ppl and a timeslot for 2 hours. Ideally each person will play 4 games for sure per day (self-organized Pickups can be played any time between sunrise and 22:00, when court is free)

POLO WORKSHOPS
IDEA 1: Reffing-Workshop
On DAY1 each group will be reffed by a (different) *REF-COACH, if you like to learn reffing you can sign in for a Reffing Workshop with this person.
On DAY2/3 you can ref the Pickup-Groups on your own and practice/learn reffing
Please let us know, if you want to be REF-COACH in the registration form (time requirement: 1x 2 hours)

IDEA 2: Workshops (f.e. Scooping, Raclette, Court strategy & Defense) inbetween the Pickup-Groups. The workshops either take place on-court or off-court on the asphalt behind. We`ll keep you posted, who will give the workshops! :)

COURT SPECIALS
Inbetween the Pickup-Groups will be timeslots for FLINTA*Polo / under18Polo (Kids&Teens) & Try-Out Polo, to provide the possibility to play in a safer space.

SIDE-ACTIVITIES & WORKSHOPS
Besides that, we want to give space for all ideas and create an amazing weekend together with fun and Polove!! If you want to offer Workshops off-court please feel free to suggest in the REGISTRATION FORM! (f.e. Yoga/ Mallet-Building/ etc.)

BIKEREPAIR
There will be bike tools provided by our favorite FLINTA* Bikeshop https://www.velopeaches.com/ & you can approach them, if you need help with repairs!

FOOD :
We will provide vegan food (breakfast/ lunch/ dinner) for the whole camp (Friday-Sunday), the food will be included in the registration fee (court/food/facilities)!
Bringing your own food: pls consider our space in the fridges is limited!
Cooking : we will cook on a big gas stove and also BBQ is possible. There will be a schedule for cooking-tasks, help is very much appreciated!
Cleaning : There will be a schedule for cleaning-tasks during the camp. Help for cleaning is very much appreciated!
Beer&Drinks: we are organizing bottled beer & Limo – costs: € 2,50

CAMPING :
Tent: we can camp next to the court on a grass area which is also a playground, it`s important we build the tents on the edge and back of the area and close to each other, so the locals can use it! Pls keep that in mind!
Car: there is a small parking lot or space along the street, where you can park Cars/Camping-Buses, NO Parking/Campers on the grass allowed!
Toilets and hot showers are provided!

HOUSING BEFORE AND AFTER THE CAMP in Vienna : Please send an email to bikepolo.vie@gmail.com with the exact dates when you need housing in Vienna, and we´ll try to find a place to stay!
