BEACH POLO

Thunderous horses conquered the sands of

Miami Beach as the World Polo League Beach Polo, descended on the sunny beaches of South Florida amid applause from the exhilarate­d onlookers ogling the sport of royalty. The sold out tournament featured many of the best polo players in the world including Nic Roldan, Alejandro Novillo Astrada, Melissa Ganzi, Jason Crowder and Juan Bollini who played in front of thousands of spectators (throughout the three-day event.) Bold faced names including Jeremy Shockey,

Ines Rivero, Caroline Vreeland, Alexis Stoudemire, Jocelyn Wildenstei­n, Louis Aguirre and Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber hit the VIP tent for the fab Polo festival. “This year’s World Polo League Beach

Polo, Miami Beach was an incredible multi-day event that truly showcased the best of the best in the sport of polo,” said Tito Gaudenzi, Founder of Beach Polo and President of Lifestyle Companies. “The synergy and energy between all of our partners, sponsors and activation­s combined with all of our profession­al athletes and the thousands of fans in attendance was phenomenal and we can’t wait to be back in 2020!” The winning team, U.S. Polo Assn. consisted of Grant Ganzi, Juan Bollini Jr. and Carlitos Gracida. The entertainm­ent world mounted their horses for a charity match-super model Ines

Rivero, former NFL star Jeremy Shockey, actor Sterling Jones and the always phenomenal WPLG Channel 10 New Anchor Louis Aguirre competed in the Neiman Marcus Cup celebrity polo match for charity for the Give Back For Special Equestrian­s and the Museum Of Polo Hall Of Fame.

GOOOOOAAAA­ALLL

Twin brothers Daniel and Sebastian Mateu are passionate about soccer but it isn’t just about scoring that precious goal or hearing cheers from their fans. These high school sophomores created A Soccer Life Foundation to give back to the South Florida community in order to give anyone the opportunit­y to play the sport they love so much! Love it! Sebastian and Daniel recruited a few of their classmates from Ransom Everglades High

School to help with the

10-week after-school program which taught kids the basics of the sport from passing and scoring and much more.

So, here’s the deal-the goal of A Soccer Life Foundation is to bring the sport of soccer to students who wouldn’t normally have the chance to play and to raise money to help complete this goal. The Foundation and its motivated team continue to empower children through soccer and help in their personal developmen­t by providing grants, scholarshi­ps, and free clinics. To donate and find out more informatio­n, visit www.asoccerlif­efoundatio­n.org or 786-631-1652.
