HockeyHKWS 23-24 Circular No. 24: Women's Junior AHF Cup 2024 Trial
Dear all,
The Women’s National Squad Committee will be conducting open selection trial sessions to select players for the Women’s U21 Squad for the upcoming Junior AHF Cup. The Junior AHF Cup will be held in Singapore from June 13 to June 23, 2024 (specific start and end dates to be confirmed once the number of participating teams is finalized). The actual travelling dates would be departing for Singapore 2 days before the tournament and returning to Hong Kong the day after.
Details of the trial:
Dates: 11th March 2024 (Monday) 1630-1800 @KP
12th March 2024 (Tuesday) 1830-2000 @HV1
15th Match 2024 (Friday) 1630-1800 @KP
Trialists need to attend 2 out of 3 sessions
Players attending these trials must be born on or after 1st January 2003.
Players attending these sessions should arrive at the ground sharp and bring along a white shirt and a dark blue shirt, mouth guard and shin guards. The Asian Hockey Federation has advised the HockeyHK that only HKSAR passport holders are eligible to represent Hong Kong at international tournaments. Players are therefore required to produce their HKSAR passport as proof of eligibility before they can be considered for selection for the squad.
Those enrolled to trial can continue to join training until squad announcement. The current Women’s Junior Squad training sessions are generally held every Monday and Friday afternoon from 1630 to 1800 at King's Park Hockey Ground. There are also additional ad hoc training sessions when deemed appropriate.
HK Passport holders that are currently overseas and unable to attend trials may also be considered. Overseas players are required to send a 5 minute training or match highlight clip from the last 1 month that clearly identifies the player AND a playing CV. They are also required to send in a clip of them performing the full 30/15 fitness test with results. Selected overseas players are required to return to Hong Kong (at their own expense) prior to the tournament to attend training sessions and must travel to/from Hong Kong for the tournament. For the purposes of the upcoming Junior AHF Cup, the expectation is that overseas players will attend a minimum of 3 training sessions with the team in advance of the tournament. Please indicate your intended travel plans and training availability in the application. The above requirements must be uploaded to google share drive and sent link to nortonleung@hockey.org.hk by 15th March 2024.
