Overview

Mission

The mission of the amiercan polocrosse association is to offer educational programs which promote sportsmanship through domestic and international player developent programs and to teach horsemanship for the protections and welfare of the horses and players.

What it reported doing in 2025

Cross over challenge: this program is aimed at developing both trainer and equine athletes for the sport of polocrosse. Members can acquire a recently retired thoroughbred racehorse through the program and prepare it over a period not to exceed 16 months for competition in polocrosse. The format for competition is designed to test the quality and progress of each hores's training in regard to ease of handling, agility and responsiveness. The final evaluation and competition completion takes place at the apa nationals tournament every two years.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
