Youth programme

Youth pages last updated 18 March 2009. (The rest of the site has had a lick of paint since then, these tables have been left as they were.)

Juniors are welcome at the club from 6.30pm on Tuesdays, before the senior session. We have a small group most weeks, enough for a Swiss or a few skittles games and the odd bit of coaching from whoevers free.

Schools in the Wellington area have been a good source of players. In recent years we have had juniors from Wellington College, Onslow, and a few of the northern suburbs primaries. Parents are welcome to stay, there is usualy tea in the kitchen.

Wellington Under-18 Championship

In some years the club has hosted a one-weekend Wellington U18 at Turnbull House, usualy over Labour Weekend. It is a local event (not the NZ Junior) but it has been a useful outing for our stronger school-age players. Crosstables are on the results page.

Winners that I have written down:

  • 2008 - T. Rangi
  • 2007 - H. Patel
  • 2006 - not held
  • 2005 - M. Stubbersfield
  • 2004 - J. McKenzie

On these pages

  • Results - club junior championships 2003-2008, U18 and junior rapid
  • Photo album - prizegivings and a couple of club nights (scans still coming for some of these)

If you have a junior who would like to play just come along. No need to ring ahead. A set at home is useful but not required.
