The Grade 12/13 Interprovincial Championships is a team-based event held every year across both the Saturday and Sunday of the Easter weekend. It’s a fantastic event for those athletes selected, as they compete in a group environment against the top 12-13 year olds in the country. Each province in New Zealand selects a team to represent them in the competition, with each team consisting of a maximum of 44 athletes – 11 male and 11 female athletes from each grade.
