Schools wishing to enter a Composite (combined) team must follow the SSNZ Composite Team process.

The Form 6 Composite Team Agreement must be completed and signed by the Principals of the participating schools. The form must then be submitted by the Principal of the Responsible School to School Sport NZ at caseyr@schoolsportnz.org.nz no later than 30 working days prior to the closing date for entries for the sanctioned event. In consultation with SSNZ we have been able to shift the deadline to 14 working days prior to the closing date for entries - 24th April.

Hockey NZ is responsible for the creation and distribution of all secondary school draws.

HNZ endeavours to release a final draw 4 weeks prior to the tournament start date. Please note that this process can be delayed by late entries and withdrawals.

All schools are encouraged to provide and umpire to the tournament they are attending. This is to promote the development of umpires around the country and take the stress off host associations supplying local umpires.

You can register 18 players in a team provided that two of these players are dedicated goal keepers throughout the tournament.

Please refer to the rule 8.2 of the National Secondary School Tournament rules.
