Jillaroos and Burras squads selected with eye to Junior World Cups
Published Thu 06 Apr 2023
This year’s Women’s and Men’s Australian Junior (Under 21) squads (Jillaroos and Burras) have been announced with an eye towards December’s FIH Junior Hockey World Cups and also the future success of Australian hockey at the elite level.
The selected Jillaroos and Burras squads comprise 27 athletes who are all age eligible for the Junior World Cups and were selected following the 2023 Hockey Australia U21 Championships in Sydney.
The incentive for the athletes selected in the squads could not be higher with the pinnacle global under 21 tournaments coming up at the end of the year – the Women’s Junior World Cup in Chile (29 November - 10 December) and Men’s Junior World Cup in Malaysia (5-16 December).
Queenslanders represent a third of the selected Jillaroo squad and with four further athletes in the Burras, the biggest contingent after WA with only two more players selected.
