Victorian Country Championships (JCC & SCC)
The Junior Country Championships and Senior Country Championships are annual Events, which see teams from all over regional Victoria assemble converge to play in a Round Robin Event. It is a fantastic opportunity for the best hockey talent in regional Victoria to go head to head with each other.
The Junior Country Championships takes place in May each year, with Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18 Boys & Girls Divisions. It is played across three venues, with teams playing multiple matches a day.
The Senior Country Championships takes place on the June long weekend each year and offers divisions for Open & Masters Men and Women.

The venues utilised will be as follows:
- Essendon Hockey Centre – Under 14 Boys & Girls

In 2024, the age groups for the Event will also change to Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18.

Senior Country Championships - 2024
2024 SCC Dates & Location
Throughout and following the 2023 Senior Country Championships, a survey was conducted to gather information from both people participating in the Event, but also a significant number people that did not attend in 2023. There were over 220 survey responses collected. HV have since been meeting with the Regional Steering Committee to discuss this information and begin planning for both the 2024 & 2025 Senior Country Championships.
Based on the survey responses, when the Senior Country Championship is delivered in metropolitan Melbourne there is a clear desire for it to be held at the premier venue, which is Melbourne Sports Centres Parkville.
Therefore the 2024 SCC will be held at Melbourne Sports Centres Parkville over the June long weekend - Saturday 8th June through to Monday 10th June, 2024. The Men & Women will again play at the same venue.
Should team entries warrant an additional venue being utilised, HV will secure one of the venues in very close proximity to MSC Parkville to use as an overflow venue.
