Sponsor Spotlight: Sudwerk Brewing Company

September 11, 2015Davis Bike PoloSponsors

Have you made it out to the Sudwerk Dock Store yet? If you haven’t, your life isn’t complete. The Dock Store, part of the Sudwerk Restaurant on 2nd St. and the larger brewing facility is the place in Davis, CA to hangout with your friends and family (yes, kids are welcome too!) and drink a cold tasty brew. What you get at the Dock Store isn’t anything you can get anywhere else. The beer they serve is often something experimental and a bit different from the usual beer staples you’ll find at the store. Here you’ll find the more interesting and seasonal beers, brews that might use local fruit, or maybe taste a bit more tangy and sour or dark and thick. The lineup changes weekly and while you’re sipping on a beer you can get a tour of the brewery and hear about the history of Sudwerk!

On top of the fact that Sudwerk makes the best beers in California they also happen to be the most community-oriented and supportive business in Davis.

Over the past three years, Sudwerk has hosted fundraisers for Davis Bike Polo to help us raise money for tournament travel, to help us host tournaments here in Davis and to help support new players just getting into the sport. We appreciate Sudwerk’s dedication to the Davis community and its generosity in helping our small club grow!

Make sure you visit and say hello!

Sponsors: How you can help

September 4, 2015Davis Bike PoloSponsors

Much of what Davis Bike Polo has accomplished over the years, from throwing amazing tournaments to providing loaner bikes and mallets for new players, wouldn’t have been possible without help from the Davis and biking community. If you’re interested in supporting the sport of bike polo, here are some ways you can help.

What we need:

Bikes and mallets, pads and helmets for our newbies their first time out
Help spread the word about bike polo, and if you’re in Davis, about Davis Bike Polo

The biggest barrier to entry into bike polo is getting the right gear to play. Bike polo requires a mallet and bike, and while many people have bikes, very few have a bike polo mallet lying around their garage. Also, a bike with the right gear ratio and geometry will make playing a lot more fun and less dangerous then hopping on an old road bike. Davis Bike Polo tries to provides loaner bikes and mallets for new players, and any help from the community to provide the essentials is greatly appreciated.

Help us spread the word about bike polo by sharing bike polo events and information on your social media sites, posting fliers in your shops, and just talking to people about the sport. The more people who hear about bike polo, the more people we can get on bikes and involved in the biking community!

As a token of our gratitude for any help you might be able to give, we’d feature your logo on our website and on our upcoming tournament posters, tournament T-shirts and also thank you publicly on our social media sites and during the tournament award ceremony.

If you’re interested in sponsoring or helping out, please contact Davis Bike Polo at davisbikepolo@gmail.com.

Davis Hosts Co-ed Bench Tourney to Raise Funds for Ladies Army 7

Davis Bike Polo hosted its first Bench format tournament in May 2015 to help raise money for Ladies Army 7 – The Women’s North American Championship of Hardcourt Bike Polo which will took place in San Francisco in June. We believe that Ladies Army is a wonderful way to encourage women to get excited about bike polo and bikes.

Davis Bike Polo raised over $500 by raffling off sponsors’ prizes and donating half of the registration fees collected for the Davis Co-ed Bench to Ladies Army 7. To find out who played and placed check Podium, here: https://www.podiumbikepolo.com/Davisbench2015
