NZIHA encourage all players interesting in seeking a place on a New Zealand team to trial this year. Please note, however that trial fees and deposits will be required. The expectation is that if you attend trials and subsequently you are placed in a team you are committed to attend all trainings and make payments as required for costs associated with the team selected into. At this stage there is no organised event for 21U age grade. Players are encouraged to trial for Senior Men as an alternative . All participants will pay a trial/ training fee of $60 to NZIHA at each trial/ camp Deposits are required from participants at the first trial.
FOR FIRS EVENT TEAMS Participant deposit is $500 (refundable if not being placed in a team) We believe the overall cost will be approx 4.5k to 5k based on reduced accommodation found. FOR OCEANIA EVENT TEAMS Participant deposit is $200 (refundable if not placed in a team)
Special Note: Due to the timing and notification requirements, NZIHA advise that only those players committed to seeking a place into a NZ team and prepared to take on the financial and training requirements should attend trials. Deposits should be made by cheque wherever possible. If a player wishes to discuss deposit payments you are welcome to email or phone. (
