Albert Schweitzer Tournament Cost for NZ players = $8k
Aussie State Champs = $3k
Any other tour outside of NZ = At least $3k
Even if you get invited to national camps...pay your own transport (Expensive domestic flights, + 10 hour bus rides), and then you have to pay a little more to the Association to sleep in tents and have budget meals.
Absolutely, congrats to all who made it! It's a top effort to represent your country!!
I will however say the following, from the u17 team that went to the worlds in Amsterdam, the following were bottom agers and are eligible to be a part of this group as top agers, injury is a major factor in some of their non selection I believe;
Annie Blackburn
Danni Pearce
Alicia Froling
Keely Froling
Alana Smith
And then there is Tahlia Tupea who was a part of the u19 world champs this year.
I believe they will take 12 to the world champs which will create 2 more roster spots as well.
