6th Annual Polo Classic
Habitat for Humanity Metro Maryland proudly celebrated the 6th Annual Polo Classic on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at the beautiful Congressional Polo Club. A heartfelt thank you to Host Hotels & Resorts, our generous Platinum Sponsor, and to all the sponsors who helped make this event possible.
Guests experienced the thrill of two exhilarating polo matches featuring professional polo players, participated in the time-honored tradition of stomping the divots, and enjoyed a variety of sideline festivities—including the ever-popular “Best Hat” and “Best Dressed” contests.
It was an extraordinary day of sport, style, and impact. Stay tuned for photos!

Polo 101
- Polo is an international sport and a 2500 year old sport.
- Polo is played on a ten acre grass field. 300 yards in length by 160 yards, which is the approximate area of ten football fields.
- There are four periods or “chukkars” in a match. Each chukkar is seven minutes long. Play begins with a throw-in of the ball by the umpire at the opening of each chukkar, and after each goal. Only penalties or injuries may stop play as there are no time-outs or substitutions allowed.
- The mallet, made of bamboo shaft with a hardwood head, is the instrument used to hit the polo ball.
