Hockey in New Zealand

Good turf, good games

School hockey tours built around well matched games on good turf. Hockey has been part of nearly every school group we have hosted, and girls teams from Buenos Aires have played their way through the North Island with us, against school first elevens and regional under 16 sides. We find opposition at your level, book turf time for training and make sure the day finishes with the two teams together. One touring group played four games in a fortnight, each against a different region. If your school travels with more than one code, hockey slots in easily: same route, games on the same days.

New Zealand is where we live and where every relationship we have started. Since 2019 we have hosted school and club groups from Argentina here, often with several sports on the one tour: rugby, hockey, volleyball, basketball and handball. Most tours run through the North Island. Rotorua for geothermal country and a Māori cultural evening, Hawke's Bay and Wellington for games and the capital's museums, then home to Taranaki, where your team trains and plays under the mountain. Every match day ends the same way, with presentations and time with the host team. Geoff and Cole plan it and run it in person. Tell us your sports, your level and your dates and we will shape the route around them.

Hockey Tours in New Zealand

About two weeks

Hockey tours to New Zealand, built around your team. Girls hockey sides from Buenos Aires have toured the North Island with us since 2023, playing school first elevens and regional under 16 sides on good turf. A typical tour is four games in two weeks, with turf training in between. One touring group played a different region in every stop. The route below is a sample. Yours is shaped around your dates, your grade and how many games you want, with Geoff or Cole alongside you on the ground.

Before you ask

Questions, answered

How much does a tour cost?

Every tour is quoted individually because every tour is built around your team — sport, level, dates and budget. Tell us what a great trip looks like and we will come back with an honest price and a first draft itinerary.

Can we customise our itinerary?

Yes — no two tours are the same. Every Brock Sports tour starts with your team, your sport and your goals, and we build it with you, fixture by fixture.

What is included in the price?

Every quote sets it out plainly. A typical tour covers games, training, accommodation, transport, breakfasts and dinners, and the cultural and sightseeing programme. Lunches and personal travel insurance are usually separate, and we will spell out anything else that is.

Which meals are included?

Breakfasts and dinners are included as standard. Lunches are usually at your own cost, so players can choose for themselves.

What happens if the weather turns?

We adjust the day and offer a suitable alternative wherever we can. It is New Zealand, so we plan with the weather in mind.

Do you run multi sport school tours?

Yes, it is the tour we run most. Recent school groups have travelled with rugby, hockey and volleyball teams together, and with rugby, basketball, hockey and handball. Boys and girls teams tour as one party and play on the same days where we can.
