The Oceania Junior Championships (OJC) made waves alongside the 2024 Australian Junior Championships, showcasing exceptional talent from budding squash stars. Held at the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre in Victoria from April 12th to 14th, 2024, this event was a testament to dedication, skill, and passion for the game.

The Academy proudly sent forth 14 junior players to compete in the OJC. Their performances were nothing short of remarkable as they stood out amidst some tough competition.
In a true test of endurance and proficiency, our junior team embraced the challenge of playing 10+/- matches within a span of 7 days. This experience not only revealed their capabilities but also highlighted their readiness for intense gameplay in a compressed timeframe.
A special mention goes to Thomas Wang, who secured the runner-up position in the U13 boys' category, showcasing remarkable skill and determination. Additionally, Will, James, Marcus, and Jackson positioned themselves strongly for potential selection in the 2024 Australian Junior Men’s Team for the upcoming World Junior Championships. Your dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed - well done! Fingers crossed for your selection.
