The National Schools’ competitions are organised across the Under 18, 16, 14 age groups.

North West Hockey is collating contact details for as many schools as would be interested in getting more information about hockey, including finding links to local clubs if required.
We wish to be as inclusive as possible and for this reason are trying to keep entry fees as low as possible and ask schools to support this by letting us use their facilities free of charge whenever possible.
