🥇Double Gold for Our Titirangi Juniors!🥇

What an incredible weekend for our Juniors at the New Zealand Junior Team Championships!

Although the teams represented Waitākere, we're especially proud that these young athletes are part of our Titirangi family.

This success didn't happen overnight. The vision of taking a team to the New Zealand Junior Team Championships (NZJTC) began over 12 months ago with the launch of the Junior Development Programme. Since then, Coach Danny and Coach Janaka have worked tirelessly to develop our young players and create a pathway to representative badminton.

In April this year, two teams were selected—an Under 13 and an Under 15 squad. Over the following 10 weeks, they trained hard, challenged themselves, and grew together as a team in preparation for their very first NZJTC.

Their dedication paid off in the best possible way:

🥇 Under 13 – Gold Medalists
🥇 Under 15 – Gold Medalists

and remarkably, neither team lost a single tie throughout the tournament.

To have both teams win gold at their first national team competition is an outstanding achievement and a testament to the commitment of the players, the guidance of Coach Danny and Coach Janaka, and the unwavering support of their families.

We'd also like to thank our Titirangi Badminton Club community. Thanks to the proceeds from our recent silent auction, the club was able to provide financial support to help these teams attend the championships. Every bid helped make this opportunity possible.

Congratulations to all of our players, coaches, parents, and supporters. We are incredibly proud of what you've achieved and can't wait to see what comes next for these talented young athletes! 💙🏸
