New Selection Policy for 34 and 39 Queensland Teams - A Trial for 2026

Published Thu 01 Jan 2026

In 2026 Queensland Mens Masters Committee have implemented a trial selection policy for players who wish to nominate in the 34s and 39s Queensland teams.

Based on feedback that players currently playing at high levels would like to play in the best possible competitions that match their current skill level and to try an attract players who have high level experience we are trialling a new selection policy for the 34s and 39s.

As a trial in 2026 players who play Division 1 in their local association, or attend the State Open Championships representing their local Association or are current Hockey One players or an ex-Kookaburra player you may elect to nominate for either the 34+ or 39+ Queensland teams regardless of your current age.  

PLEASE BE AWARE  

As per the Master's Policy you can only nominate for one age group and you will not be considered for any another age group including your eligible age group This means if you are not selected in the Division 1 team for the age group you nominated for you will only be conisdered in the Division 2 team in the age group in which you nominate. You WILL NOT be considered for the Division 1 or 2 teams for any other age group including your normal age group. 

The intention of the change in policy is about attracting and retaining high quality / elite level players into Masters Hockey. It is not intended for all players.

It is a trial for 2026 only and we will see if it has any impact on nominations.
