2026 SA Junior Open North – Pretoria

Tournament Results

The inaugural SA Junior Open North, held in Pretoria from 27–29 March 2026, marked an exciting new chapter for junior squash in South Africa. Hosted across various venues in Pretoria, the tournament drew an impressive 302 entries across the newly structured age groups, from U11 through to U19. The strong turnout and competitive spirit on display highlighted the depth of talent and enthusiasm within the junior squash community.

This event also played an important role in the national pathway, with the top 8 players in each of the U13, U15, U17, and U19 age groups earning invitations to compete in the upcoming 2026 SA Junior Top 16 Closed, taking place in Johannesburg from 17–19 April. We look forward to seeing these players continue to build on their performances as they compete at the next level.
