WAIKATO JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

WAIKATO SECONDARY SCHOOLS JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Waikato Junior Secondary Schools Championships provides an exciting opportunity for our junior athletes (year 9 & 10) to represent their school and compete against other teams from across the region. There are several divisions that will cater for all skill levels. The Waikato Junior Championships acts as a seeding competition that leads to the North Islands Secondary Schools Championships in November.

The 6-week competition is played every Thursday evening and starts in Week 10 of Term 3.
