AKH are pleased to announce we have arranged an opportunity to play 3-4 matches against NSW Hockey U16s next year, March 21-24, in their build up to the Australia National U16 Tournament. You would need to be in Sydney by midday Thursday and our last match would be on Sunday morning.
This is early in the year and so we are asking for Expressions of Interest this week so we can name some teams (one boys and one girls team ) before our office shuts on December 15 (or earlier) to allow parents to make bookings of accomodation and flights early.
Registration close on Friday 17th November.
Cost: $450
Parents will need to book selected players own flights and our staff will be staying at a venue (TBC shortly ) close to the Sydney Olympic Park Hockey Centre which is an option for families to book accomodation also.
Our expectation is that each player selected travels with a parent(s) and/or guardian(s) similar to the Melbourne U15 trip last year.
If you would like to be considered for selection for the exchange please complete the below EOI.
Trial/ drills session to be held at LEP on Sundays 19th & 26th November exact time TBC (from 8am to 11am) with a possibility of a 3rd trial on Sunday 3rd December.
Teams to be named before 15th December 2023.
Please note that Hockey Australia has moved from U15 to U16 age group for 2024.
Bookings should not be made until after selection and we recommend parents purchase travel insurance in case of unforeseen circumstances affecting the exchange.
Players will be eligible for selection if 14 or 15 only at dec 1 2024 and they must also be in yr 10 or yr 11 at school.
