Juniors

Training Days, Times and Commencement Dates for 2026

* U14 girls incl Ipswich U14s will train together as a squad on Wednesdays from 5-6.30pm until 8 Feb after which players will be allocated to a team after selections.

Trials for 2026:

Trial dates

Formal trials will be held over the weekend:

Saturday 7 February – U12 and U14 teams and Goalies

Sunday 8 February – Junior Girls (Js) and Goalies

Trials for boys will happen during pre-season training slots

Training sessions before trials

Prior to the trial weekend, there will be two training sessions:

The first session will focus on getting back into the rhythm after the break and easing into training again.

The second session will already form part of the trial process.

By including this second session, we create more opportunities to see players in different situations and gain a better overall picture of each player’s skills, attitude, and development. We strongly encourage players to attend both sessions where possible.

Expectations for representative teams

Players nominating for U12T, U14T1, and J1 teams should be aware that these teams have higher expectations, including:

Strong commitment at training

Willingness to work on skill development outside of scheduled sessions

Please consider this commitment carefully when nominating for these teams.

Team preference (new this year)

New this season, we are asking players to indicate their team preference when registering.

Please note:

This is only a preference

Final team placement will be based on trial outcomes

If you are unsure which team to nominate for, that is completely fine, you may simply leave this field blank

New players welcome

New players are very welcome to join!

They will be offered separate introductory training sessions to learn the basics and get familiar with the game of hockey in a fun and supportive environment.
