Emma Pontt, Jolie Wheeler and Pip Bowler are all on the tour which makes its way to England before heading to Belgium, the Netherlands and finishing in France.
The trio flies out on December 31 for three-and-a-half weeks.
Emma’s mother, Karen, said the tour is as a great opportunity for the girls to see different styles of hockey, different clubs and get to play with different people.
“Wanderers Australia have been taking junior and senior teams overseas touring for years,” Karen said.
“They always take a junior hockey one over to Europe once a year to play against other clubs over there.
“They’ll tour around, play hockey, make new friends and do some sightseeing along the way.
“Over the years there has been quite a few Hockey Albury-Wodonga kids go on the tours.
“They take netball, cricket and other sports as well.”
State level coaches from right across Australia will conduct the tour.
