To earn selection to the Junior Olympics, Futures athletes must be 15 years of age or younger on January 1 of the year of participation.

AAU Junior Olympic Field Hockey Format

At the Junior Olympic tournament, teams are placed in two pools of 4 teams each. Teams compete in pool play to determine seeding for the crossover matches.

Games at the AAU Junior Olympics consist of two 30-minute halves with a 5-minute halftime. The current FIH Rules of Hockey are used for the tournament.

Medals are awarded to all members of the top three teams.

In the event of a tie in the medal games, a penalty stroke competition will determine the winner.
