U16 Boys State Championships 2026 Information and registration

The U16 Boys State Championships for 2026 are being hosted in our home centre Townsville, 20th - 23rd September 2026.
Players selected in the team or teams will stay in their own homes during the championships.

It is Townsville Hockey's goal to get as many teams to these championships in order to expose and develop our player, coach, manager and officials base as a whole within this age group. However this will largely depend on player, coach and managerial interest and a decision will be made accordingly on the number of teams sent to the championships.

The coaches and managers for the State championships campaign in 2026 have been approved and are:
Co-Coaches- Curtis and Callum James
Manager- Rhylee Pendrigh

Key selection and training details are below for the Championships:

Selections :
