Vic Junior Graded Doubles

VICTORIAN JUNIOR GRADED DOUBLES TOURNAMENT

13 August 2006
Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre

Our first ever state titles for Junior Graded Doubles was held at MSAC on Sunday, 13 August following High Performance Program training, and was a HUGE SUCCESS with 46 players making history!!!

Events were conducted for A, B, C, D, E Grade and Novice level players. There were so many closely contested matches that could have gone either way, finishing a draw or one point the difference! It was a very entertaining day and the feedback we recevied from everyone was that the event was a lot of fun.

The gradings were just about spot on with all pairs being pretty competitive in their respective grades. Some pairs were trying to back up their wins at our first doubles event this year held in May with varying degrees of success.

It was great to see so many new players and doubles 'first timers' proving that anyone can play doubles - some entrants have only been playing squash for 6 months. On the day we call all players together prior to first matches to introduce the rules and run through the format for the day providing all the info needed to be able to play doubles successfully.

We have big plans for next year's tournament circuit which certainly includes doubles events so stay tuned for our calendar which is due out next month.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the GRADED STATE TITLES for Singles on September 10.
