Team Selection:
Due to the early dates for the 2024 Masters Championships and prioritisation of World Cup attendance there will be a variation to the Selection Policy for the 2025 Trans Tasman event.

A squad of players in each age group will be selected in accordance with the HAMC Selection Policy current at the date of the 2024 Hockey Australia Masters Championships. 2024 World Cup players who have nominated for 2025 Trans Tasman Selection will also be included in the squad.

Attendance at the 2024 Masters Championships will be considered favourably for all players and provides the opportunity for selectors to observe the fitness and ability levels of players in attendance. Nominating players who are attending World Cup and are unable to attend the 2024 Masters Championships will be considered in the same way as exemptions are usually considered in accordance with the selection policy.  HAMC Selection Policy can be found on our webpage - https://www.hockey.org.au/masters/policies/.

Final team selections will be made from the named squad in late November/early December after World Cup events are complete.
