Badminton Australia regretfully announces that the 2021 Under 17 National Championships (including June Bevan Team Trophy) have been postponed. The event was planned to be held in Perth, WA in April 2021 but due to the ongoing risks, restrictions and travel challenges relating to COVID-19 around Australia the difficult decision has been made to put the event on hold.
Badminton Australia has made this decision in close consultation with the State and Territory Badminton organisations and considering what is in the best interests of the health and wellbeing of participants. Whilst we know this will be disappointing for many people in the Australian badminton community, Badminton Australia, and the States and Territory organisations felt it important to make this decision in a timely way, rather than closer to the event.
Badminton Australia CEO Jamie Parsons said “We wish to thank everyone in the badminton community for their patience, fortitude and support through these very challenging times. We look forward to the event running in the second half of 2021”
