- Victorian Vikings and Vipers in the Australian Hockey League (AHL)
- Under-21
- Under-18
- Under-15
- Under-13 (this was made a full Hockey Australia national championship in 2011, but was sanctioned by HA before then)
- Country (open age)
- Veterans
Additionally, indoor hockey teams are entered in:
- open
- U21
- U18
- U14/U16 (these are not considered Hockey Australia national championships, but are sanctioned by HA) (both age groups are held simultaneously at the same venue)
A team is typically sent to the U14 invitational held annually, and HV may assist in the selection, coaching and support of the VPSSA (U12) and VSSSA (U16) school teams, although they are administered by School Sport Victoria.

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or teams:
“The Indian attitude toward the land was expressed by a Crow named Curly: “The soil you see is not ordinary soil—it is the dust of the blood, the flesh, and the bones of our ancestors. You will have to dig down to find Nature’s earth, for the upper portion is Crow, my blood and my dead. I do not want to give it up.””

“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
