2021 Australian National Under 18 Championships Preview

After COVID forced its cancellation in 2020, all is in readiness for this year’s National Under 18 Hockey Championships in Launceston.

The best Under 18 hockey talent in Australia, plus coaches, officials and family members will converge on the Tasmanian riverside city for the Men’s and Women’s championships.

The event will run from 8-16 April with both the Men’s and Women’s competitions featuring teams from every Australian state and territory.

Queensland did the double when the tournament was last held in 2019, claiming both the Men’s and Women’s trophies.

This year’s National Under 18 Championships are made possible thanks to Events Tasmania.
