Wellington Masters Representative Teams
Each year, Wellington Hockey Association enters Masters teams into the National Masters Tournament. Wellington teams are selected according to age group starting with 35+ for both men and women. Competition age groupings increase by 5 years each time (e.g. 35+, 40+, 45+) with 60+ being the highest age group competing at tournament.
At the tournament itself, New Zealand teams are selected each year (again by age grouping) and regularly compete in Test Series and at International Tournaments
We are hoping to send the following teams to Nationals next year:
Men - 35’s, 40’s, 45’s, 50’s and 55’s
Women - 35’s, 40’s, 45’s and 50’s
The National Tournament is in Auckland (Lloyd Elsmore Park) next year running from 3 - 9 March. We have some great apartment accommodation booked in Auckland City and should be a great week of hockey.
