Regional Club Championships
A highly competitive atmosphere surrounds the Regional Club Championships (RCC) every year as club teams battle it out to be one of 16 squads in the U-14 Girls, U-16 Girls and U-19 Girls divisions. Teams that finish at the top of their RCC earn a bid to the National Club Championship (NCC), moving one step closer to being crowned the National Club Champions.
An RCC with 4 to 6 teams participating will qualify one club. An RCC with 7-16 teams will qualify two clubs. The remaining spots available at the NCC will be offered to those clubs placing 3rd at an RCC with 7+ clubs, or 2nd in an RCC with at least 4 clubs.
The clubs with the highest USA Field Hockey Club Ranking will be offered the available spots amongst those candidates until all spots are filled. If a team forfeits their spot to the NCC, the next highest team from that region will be selected to represent their region at the national level.
