2025 Junior Country Championships - Permit Applications

2025 Junior Country Championships Permit Applications

Should an Association require additional players for their team from outside their Association, you will be required to follow the new procedure that was introduced in 2024 to get approval.

This was implemented as there had been a gradual increase in the number players participating in the JCC that have no legitimate connection to a Regional Association. They are being recruited to bolster the strength of teams, which is not in the spirit of this Event and is providing an unfair advantage in some instances.

It will still be possible to have metropolitan players to support teams under very limited circumstance, whereby they cannot be filled with Regional Players. But a permit must be sought to do this and there are some parameters outlined below. It is the strong preference of Hockey Victoria that where additional players are required for a team, they are Regional players.

Please refer to the Junior Country Championships Team Entry Guide for more information on when a permit will be required.

The result of permit applications can be found here - 2025 Junior Country Championships Permit Application Outcomes The applciations will be checked on a weekly basis and updated accordingly.

Applications close 9.00am Monday 5th May, with no late applications accepted.

Should you require any further information, please contact Ben Seccull (bseccull@hockeyvictoria.org.au) and Keegan Watson (kwatson@hockeyvictoria.org.au).
