Scottish Masters Hockey - Selection 2023/24
It’s a World Cup year in 2024, with South Africa and New Zealand announced as hosts for various age-groups. SMH are asking you to come along and try out for selection. If you wish to be considered for any of the Scotland Masters squads, please read our selection policy and check you meet the eligibility criteria. Please note that all players attending selection must be registered with Scottish Hockey, and must be members of Scottish Masters Hockey (different organisation to Thistles).

Please email the squad contact (see below) before attending any sessions (even if you have attended in previous years) and check your eligibility criteria. This page will be updated as dates, times and venues for selection become known.
