Senior Women / U21W / U18W Application Form
Applications close on the 16th of June at 6pm. Late applications will NOT be accepted.
Application information for 2023 Oceania Championships (7-10th December 2023). All the information is ONLY for our women's players.
Oceania Championships run from Thurs 7th - Sunday 10th December. Players will need to be available from Tuesday 5th December onwards (not sure yet when teams will assemble but will either be Tues 5th or Wed 6th December).
Selection into a team for Oceania Champs is NOT a pre-requisite for selection into a team for World Champs 2024. They are two separate campaigns. World Champs teams will have separate trials and camps. However obviously players who partake in the Oceania campaign will have a head start on those who have chosen not to attend. They will better understand the coach’s tactics, strategies and expectations. Likewise they would start the 2024 World Champs trials at a higher starting point in terms of preparation.
Please note the following ICF rule regarding U18 player eligibility:
The first year an athlete can compete in an ICF or international competition is the year of their 15th birthday. So if you are only 14 years old in the year that Oceania is held (2023) and do not turn 15 until 2024, then you are not eligible to trial, so please do not complete the form.
You CAN apply to trial for two teams HOWEVER the Coach and Selectors have the final say over which team you would be selected in AND if you are not selected for one team, there is NO guarantee that you would automatically be selected for the other team ie: if you applied for SW and U21W and missed out on the SW teams there would be no guarantee you would receive a place in the U21W teams. Each player's selection will be considered on a case by case basis.
Proposed camp dates are for women's camps ONLY:
12th-13th August - trial camp 1 - Palmerston North
2nd-3rd September - trial camp 2 - Hawke's Bay
Selection - TBC
30 Sept - 1st Oct - team camp 1 - TBC
28/29 October - team camp 2 - TBC
Venues TBC
The first camp cost will be set at $250 per player. Camp costs for other camps will be set once we see how the costs went for the first camp but please allow a minimum of $250 per camp.
Those travelling/flying need to be at camp by 7pm on the Friday night - so please book flights/arrange transport to arrive by 7pm. Camps will finish by 2pm on the Sunday, they can book flights after 3pm. They can book flights for the first 2 trial camps at this stage.
Also for the SI players we are working on getting their boats to the camps for free!! Work in progress at the moment, but looking hopeful so will be in contact with those players once applications close - so they don't have to look at hiring boats up here.
Approximate cost for the Oceania campaign is $1250.00 NOT including uniform or camps. NZCPA will be doing everything they can to reduce costs as well as applying for funding to help reduce costs but there is no guarantee of funding applications being successful. NZCPA is able to provide quotes for those wishing to apply for funding for camps and the Oceania campaign.
PARENTS, we will be requiring approximately 10-12 team managers for these championships and if you are interested, please apply using the Manager application form which will come out shortly as the boys’ teams first camp is in May. Please ensure you are available for the Champs from 5/6th Dec – Sun 10th Dec. Many hands make light work and will help us deliver a successful campaign.
