Some families would have received a second notification from the Barossa Valley Hockey Association (BVHA) yesterday that indicated a different position with regards to their grades for 2021. This followed a meeting of the BVHA Presidents earlier this week where strong feedback on the previous model was shared. The revised plan for the BVHA is to have:

Under 7/9 – Mixed on a 1/4 field
Under 11 – Mixed on a half field
Under 13 – Boys on a full field (11 a side)
Under 13 – Girls on a full field (11 a side)
Under 16 Mixed – Full field (11 a side)

With this change, the configuration of Trinity teams will be more like what it has been in recent years. Girls in the Under 13 age group will fit in well with the IGSSA Girls competition, but would be allowed to participate in an Under 13’s team if that is preferred for managing transport for families with younger participants in Under 11’s.
