Junior hockey championships

Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astroturf: The 15th Hockey India Sub-Junior Women National Championship 2025 is set to begin on July 3 at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astroturf Hockey Stadium in Ranchi, Jharkhand. The tournament will run until July 14 and will follow the newly introduced division-based format, which was first implemented earlier this year during the Senior Men's and Women’s National Championships.

This year’s edition will feature 28 teams divided into three divisions — Division A, Division B, and Division C — introducing an added competitive edge with promotion and relegation at stake.

Division A, comprising the top 12 performing teams in the country, will see intense action as the defending champions Hockey Jharkhand and last year’s runner-up Hockey Madhya Pradesh lead the challenge for the national title. Division B and Division C will serve as competitive battlegrounds for emerging teams to climb the ranks.
