Rural Schools

ENTRIES ARE NOW OPEN FOR 2023 – Entries close on 20th August 2023.

Where: Gallagher Hockey Centre
When: Monday 18th September – Thursday 21st September
(with Friday as over-flow / back-up weather days)

Cost: $30 / Team (subsidised cost)
Your school will be invoiced after the tournament.

Restrictions: To allow teams time to travel etc there will be a team limit per division per day. Although we do run entries based on first in first served, we will prioritise each school having at least 1 team over a school having multiple teams. Enter your ideal teams and we will confirm numbers after registrations close. 

Close off date: Entries close on 20th August.

Format: Each day will be for a separate age group and will depend on entries, but with MAX teams per division, all games will be 13min halves, with a 2 min swap over.

Divisions each day: 

  •  MONDAY: Year 3 & 4, 6 aside : Quarter Field
  •  TUESDAY: Year 5 & 6, 6 aside : Quarter Field
  •  WEDNESDAY: Year 7 & 8, 7 field players : Half Field

Please note: For schools that struggle to fill any particular age group team we will allow for children to play up an age group but no players can play down. i.e. a year 4 student can play in a year 5&6 team to help make up numbers but a year 7 student can not play down an age group.

Umpires: All teams are to provide their own umpire.

Remember also to pack lunch and sunscreen (and a rain coat!).
