U12 Festival
U14 Club Championships
U16 Club Championships
U18 Club Championships
The Club Championship and Festival Program is a competitive opportunity, and its purpose is to raise the profile of the league season, especially for the older age groups. In partnership with the community clubs, Field Hockey BC (FHBC) hosts yearly tournaments for U14, U16 and U18 age groups, and a festival format event for U12 teams.
Aside from being a great experience for players, this program also aims to help develop Umpires and Technical Officials by requiring each team to nominate individuals for these roles. Umpires are required to have a minimal certification level for each event and can use Club Championships to get assessed as necessary. Technical Officials are volunteers that will assist the Technical Table with different degrees of responsibility depending on the event.
Please refer to the latest Club Championship Review (CCR) Working Group memo for more details about the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in this program.
Registering a team – REGISTRATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED
Because spots in these tournaments are limited due to time and facility constraints, FHBC provides an early-registration window that gives clubs the opportunity register one team per Club Championship event. This opportunity is coordinated with club administrators prior to the opening of the Online Registration to the general community, which is a first-come-first-serve team registration process.
