Hello All
Here are the remaining Squash Tournaments that the Juniors can participate in. There’s one in Toronto where a few years ago, a handful of Juniors participated in and had good matches since the top 9 in Ontario are not eligible to participate. A few parents have expressed interests.
- For the upcoming Quebec Junor Open, there is a novice category for some juniors who have participated in the local Jr. Grandprix events.
