Junior Championships
Each year, in May, the Junior Country Championships is held in Melbourne where regional associations compete to be crowned the JCC Winner. Teams are fielded in u14, u16 & u18 age groups with players nominating from just the Hockey South West clubs.
The JCC is our kids opportunity to start their representative journey by playing for Hockey South West in that competition.
After the JCC comes the Junior State Championships, where you are representing the South West Region and playing with others from across the Ballarat, Camperdown, Portland and Hamilton associations. After trials in April, teams are named, and the competition takes place in in June/July school holidays. Teams in u12, u14, u16 & u18 are selected from across the region.
