Junior Wind up tournament 17th September 2023

2023 JUNIOR BADMINTON WIND-UP TOURNAMENT

No doubt "Badminton" was the winner when the Annual end of year Junior wind-up Tournament was held on Sunday 17th September, with a 9am start & finishing at 3pm, it was an extremely lavish afternoon tea Party.

Once again special thanks must go to Jane DePaoli who has been responsible for both lunches & setting up the upstairs Party for many years-once a Junior herself-her work has been invaluable.

The tournament was played as a "Round-Robin" event and, being divided Into 3 divisions, meant every junior was able to compete at their own level- in singles to 15 points- and doubles & mixed doubles to 21 points.

The many parents & family members present were able to see the results of the 22 winter coaching sessions put into practice resulting in great sportsmanship & some fiercely contested games showing all the new skills & expertise learnt.

The Sub-Juniors (Subbies) joined in the day at 11am & were put through their skills, games & special events.

The Centre seldom sees so much energetic activity with fun & laughter being the order of the day, mixed in with lots of flying shuttles. Junior Coach Robert Italiano expressed special thanks to Annie & Rusty for keeping the next generation of young Baddy players happy & involved on the day.
