Phillip Müller’s vision for Standing Rock goes beyond polo—it is a tribute to the values and traditions of the Sioux Native Americans, embodying their deep respect for nature, unity, and fair play.

Standing Rock is more than just a polo team—it is a philosophy, a way of life, and a commitment to excellence. Inspired by the values of the Sioux Native Americans, the organization embodies the principles of respect, unity, and fair play, creating a culture where passion and determination drive every aspect of the game.

At Standing Rock, we believe that competence and dedication are the foundation of success. Every player, horse, and supporter is part of a movement that values discipline, teamwork, and the relentless pursuit of greatness. We are always on time, ready to face challenges with unwavering focus and resilience.

Honor is at the heart of everything we do. We uphold the traditions of the sport while embracing innovation, ensuring that our approach to polo reflects both heritage and progress. Our commitment extends beyond the field—we support each other, foster a vibrant and positive environment, and celebrate the spirit of competition with integrity.

Standing Rock is fearless and bold, pushing boundaries and redefining what it means to be a champion. We take pride in our journey, knowing that every match, every victory, and every challenge shapes us into stronger, more determined athletes.

Inspired by the resilience and strength of the Sioux, Müller sought to create an organization that reflects these principles both on and off the field. Standing Rock is not just a polo team; it is a philosophy, a way of life that prioritizes sportsmanship, the welfare of horses, and the camaraderie that defines the sport.

The name Standing Rock originates from the famous Sioux reservation in North Dakota, a place known for its rich cultural heritage and unwavering spirit. Müller was drawn to the idea of incorporating these values into his polo organization, ensuring that every aspect of the team—from training to competition—honors the traditions of the Sioux.

Beyond the game, Standing Rock is committed to fostering a strong sense of community. The organization actively supports initiatives that promote fair play, ethical treatment of horses, and the development of young polo players. By instilling these values, Müller hopes to create a lasting legacy that extends far beyond the polo field.

With a presence in international tournaments and a growing reputation in the polo world, Standing Rock continues to make an impact, proving that the sport is not just about competition but about respect, tradition, and the enduring spirit of the game.
