Squash New Zealand is pleased to announce the continuation of the 2016 Trans-Tasman Junior Series. This event will follow the 2016 Oceania Junior Championships. Both events will be held on the Gold Coast at the Labrador Squash Centre, 230 Turpin Road, Labrador, Gold Coast, Queensland. 

The Trans-Tasman Junior Test Series provides international exposure to talented New Zealand junior players at a younger age.  

Each country will field a team with the following number of players:

  • 2 x Under 13 Boys
  • 2 x Under 13 Girls
  • 2 x Under 15 Boys
  • 2 x Under 15 Girls
  • 2 x Under 17 Boys
  • 2 x Under 17 Girls
  • 2 x Under 19 Girls
  • 4 x Under 19 Boys*

*The higher number of boys is to provide preparation for the 2016 World Junior Men’s Championships Team to allow for increased international exposure and preparation.

All players will play both players in their age group from the Australian team. The only exception will be in the Under 19 Age Group where the Boys will only play 2 players from the opposing country.

The dates for the two events are as follow

  • Oceania Junior Championships – Friday 15th January to Monday 18th January 2016
  • Trans-Tasman Test Series – Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th January 2016

The Trans-Tasman Test Series is user-pays. Squash New Zealand will organise:

  • Flights
  • Shuttle
  • Accommodation
  • Entry fee
  • Uniforms
  • Coach/Manager support
  • Food (main meals only)

Costs will be on-charged to players and at this stage are expected to be around $2,000.

Squash New Zealand is currently seeking appointment of coaches for the 2016 event and hopes to name these in the near future.
