Central Otago Hockey Association aim to send teams to the Un18 National Tournaments each year. We are looking forward to 2026! To be eligible for these teams you must be an affiliated hockey player for 2026, meaning you must play at least 3 club games this season. The players are ultimately chosen from the U18 Development program.

Feel free to follow the U18/U15 Program for your own development; you don't have to aim for the team.

If you have not participated in the development program but want to trial for the team, email development@coha.org.nz.
