Polocrosse

Polocrosse at NEGS

NEGS has always placed a firm emphasis on its polocrosse players with the use of an outdoor polocrosse field helping players reach their full potential. 

An impact sport on horseback, our students are given every opportunity to excel with the coaching of national player Ella Elks, who has represented Queensland at a national level. The NEGS polocrosse team travels across the state for weekend tournaments every season, with our dedicated coaches and staff helping to facilitate every opportunity for the girls to grow and play. Team selections are made from the squad only, and require a commitment to training and competition schedules.
