- 2:36 am
USA Badminton is pleased to announce that the 2025 Junior Selection Event will be held in San Jose, California over four days from April 18 – 21, 2025 at Can-Am Elite Badminton & Sports. The Selection Event will be main draw with feed-in consolation or pool play based on the number of entries.
Each entrant will be required to play in a minimum of two USAB or BWF tournaments (junior or adult) in the 2024-2025 season (beginning after the 2024 Junior National Championships) prior to the Selection Event. While our intention is to not impose caps, in the circumstance that more entries are received than can be accommodated in the available court hours, events may be capped.
The event will be held to select the teams/players for the 2025 Pan Am Junior Championships (U19 Team Championships and U19, U17, U15, & U13 Individual Championships) and 2025 World Junior Championships (U19 Team Championships and U19 Individual Championships).
The results from this selection even may also be used to select USAB teams for any/other international events or camps, which may be scheduled later in the season or in the 2025-2026 season (prior to the 2026 Selection Event).
The Selection Event will be open to U.S. Citizens in the U13, U15, U17, and U19 age groups.
U11 will NOT be included at the Pan Am Junior Championships this year.
Fees for the 2025 Pan Am Junior Championships will need to be paid at the 2025 Yonex U.S. Junior Selection Event to USA Badminton by check. On the last day of the Selection Event, all players who would like to be considered for the PAJC must submit a $250 PAJC Participation Check and a $250 PAJC Confirmation Check.
