🥇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! 💙🏸

Did you know that we have a Lost Property box? It is now located in the downstairs kitchen, right next to the water cooler.

If you are missing a water bottle or an item of clothing, please check the Lost Property box.

It's currently overflowing with items that are waiting to be reunited to their owners.

Congratulations to the winners and finalists of the Titirangi Open 2026!

Thank you to all players, supporters, helpers and sponsors. This tournament wouldn't be successful without your support.

See you next year!

Junior Derby Weekend

Last weekend, our Titirangi juniors proudly represented Waitakere in the U13 and U15 Derby competition.

The Derby serves as an important lead-up event to the New Zealand Junior Championships in Palmerston North this July. It provides valuable match experience and an opportunity for players to test themselves against strong opposition from other associations.

Our Titirangi players are experiencing representative badminton for the first time and both the U13 and U15 teams are in their inaugural year. The weekend was a fantastic opportunity to build their confidence, develop team connections, and gain valuable experience in a representative environment.

We are incredibly proud to have so many Titirangi players representing Waitakere. Their commitment, effort, and sportsmanship throughout the weekend were a credit to themselves, their coaches, and their families.

A huge congratulations to all players involved, and we wish them the very best as they continue their preparation for the New Zealand Junior Championships in July.

💚🖤 Go Titirangi, and go Waitakere! 💙💛
