U15 Indoor Club Cup Finals
This Sunday, 23 January, 12 teams will meet in Perth at the inaugural U15 Indoor Club Cup Finals. These are exciting new youth competitions, aimed at encouraging more young players to play indoor hockey, and will offer fantastic youth hockey opportunities for talented young players.
The event, held at Bells Sports Centre, sees six girls’ teams and six boys’ teams competing in separate competitions – see attached U15 Indoor Cup Schedule. Each team will play in a pool of three teams, followed by play-offs and finals, giving everyone three matches.
