Introducing our 2026 U17 & U19 Performance Squad. These committed players are putting in the work at a level that reflects their ambitions. Every session is purposeful, every tournament a step toward bigger goals - including selection for the New Zealand World Junior Championships team.

You'll find many of these players chasing titles across the NZ Tour events and at the prestigious Wisden & Slazenger Cups competition this year.

High standards, high ambitions, and high performance - bring it on! 🔥🏸
