Travel & Accommodation

After careful consideration and in light of various logistical factors, it has been decided that the Under 14 and Under 16 BWHA representative teams will not travel as a group for tournaments in 2025. This decision follows an evaluation of the significant costs associated with travel and accommodation, as well as the number of parents already planning to travel to these events. Additionally, considerations around player behaviour and the substantial volunteer commitment required for team travel have influenced this outcome.

As a result, for tournaments held within the South East Queensland (SEQ) region in 2025, the responsibility for travel and accommodation will rest solely with the individual players. Each player will be expected to make their own arrangements to attend these events, ensuring greater flexibility for families and a more sustainable approach to team logistics.
