2026 Club Championship and Festival Program
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 Club Championship Review (CCR) Working Group memo for more details about the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in this program.
This information has also been circulated to all the clubs in British Columbia. Please, if you are interested in the Club Championship & Festival Program for 2026, we encourage you to read the memo and discuss it with your club.

Registering a Team for a Club Championship/Festival Event
The Team Registration Process for the 2026 Club Championship and Festival Program will be carried out in TWO PARTS and will be facilitated utilizing the FHBC online tournament registration platform.
Please encourage your team registrars to take an important read through of the Online Tournament Registration Guidelines prior to registration. To assist team registrars, FHBC has included a registration template document that is intended to help a team registrar collect essential information that will be required to complete a team’s online registration. It is equally important that you please have a look at the General Tournament Regulations.
PART ONE of the Team Registration process provides a Member Club with the opportunity to nominate one (1) team per club championship event for Early Registration.
The Part One Early Registration window will open online April 28th at Noon PST & close on April 30th at Noon PST.
Please note that the tournament registration system will not allow a club to enter more than one team during this period. Please, coordinate within your club to ensure this is clear & understood.
PART TWO of the Team Registration process is the ‘First-Come-First-Serve’ team registration window.
The Part Two ‘First-Come-First-Serve’ window will open online on May 5th at Noon PST and will close on May 7th at Noon PST.
Please register in the registration site:
**IMPORTANT:
- Team Entry submission after the published deadline will not be accepted.
- EACH team MUST nominate: a team manager, an umpire* (who can be scheduled for the event the team is entering), and a minimum of one Technical Official volunteer (who can be scheduled for the event the team is entering).
*Teams travelling outside of their region (Island, Interior, Mainland) will be given an exemption from naming an umpire -
Whilst FHBC recognizes the value of inclusivity, it remains essential for teams wishing to register for the 2026 BC Club Championship and Festival Program to adhere to the Team Entry Deadline and Team Entry Requirements in each case. Team Entry submission after the published deadline in each case will not be accepted.
