Under 12s 2026

NWSHA offers Under 12 players their first opportunity to play representative hockey for the association. Whilst HpckeyNSW does not host an Under 12 Field Hockey State Championships, the association offers a schedule of events including the U-12 Moorebank-Liverpool Hockey Club Carnival that is targetted at supporting positive early youth representative experiences.
These will culminate in teams participating in the annual Tamworth Michael York Cup and Kim Small Shield in July 2026.
