Competitive matches are organised by categories and age ranges.

Accommodation
During the tournament you will stay at a four-star hotel located next to the Cuidad de las Artes y las Ciencias, which marks the beginning of the river Turia, which is full of parks, museums and an aquarium. From the hotel, the central areas of the city are within walking and cycling distance, as well as well connected by bus and metro. There is a direct bus connection to the hockey pitches and beach. A proper breakfast buffet is served every morning.
