Masters Australian Team Selections will be held after finals on Saturday 21st
There is a small amount of time allocated for U19/U24 Australian Teams to either hold selections or just a scratch match. Selections, if held, would likely be for a squad to attend a selections/training camp to prepare for a competition in late 2023 (TBC).
Competitions Fees
Efforts are being made to keep costs as low as possible, in particular for junior players.
Team managers will share further details shortly.
Junior Accommodation
UWHWA has secured relatively cheap accommodation at Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School Boarding House which would be suitable for interstate junior teams. Our team managers are in discussion with the organizing group to assess whether this is a viable arrangement for our teams.
Location
A reminder that Bunbury is approximately 2hrs South of Perth so please factor this into your travel arrangements.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
Kind regards,
VUHC Committee
