U14 Girls Hawthorn Shield 2025 Information and registration

Townsville Hockey prides itself in sending quality Un14 boys and girls away to hockey QLD`s State Championships annually. In 2025 both championships will be conducted during the June/July school holidays.
 
In 2025 the girls State Championships will be hosted by Toowoomba from 29th June - 2nd July.

Selections for the Un14 teams will be for Hawthorn Shield initially and include trials and trainings in early March, club preseason games and scheduled squad trainings. Teams for the State Championships will use Hawthorn, club and trainings following to finalise.

Coaching staff will be announced as soon as possible following discussion and review from THA representatives. Teams will follow the usual selection process with club representatives and a coaching panel.

Trainings are scheduled Sunday afternoons (as below but subject to change) more definite details will be confirmed once teams and staff are solidified.
Please note additional sessions may be included if the coaching and playing group see fit.

As you can appreciate Hawthorn Shield is very early in the calendar so it is imperative you try your best to attend all trials/trainings where possible and please let coaching staff know if you are unavailable.

This year Hawthorn Shield is in Townsville on the 5th and 6th April.
