The Gold and Provincial Championship events are the highest level of competition offered in Ontario with Girls and Boys Under 11, Under 13, Under 15, Under 17, and Under 19 divisions offered. These circuits are geared towards high performance juniors.
Tournament Referee: Steve Flude
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this event will have an 16-person limit on each division. The 16 highest ranked players to register prior to the deadline will secure a spot in the main draw. Any additional entries will be placed on a waitlist.
The following event format will be in place temporarily, due to COVID-19 restrictions:
All Junior Gold and Provincial Championships will be 2-day tournaments with 16 player draws (this will be the case until club capacity limits are lifted and we feel it is safe to do so). Events will take place on Saturday and Sunday, with a later Sunday finish time.
To limit the number of people in the club at any given time, younger age groups will play their matches in the morning time slots each day with the older age groups will play in the afternoons. There will be NO time requests or changes at these events.
Squash Ontario now has a competitions vaccine policy. Click here and read in full. Players who provide proof of full vaccination will be able to play without a mask on court. Those who are unable to get the vaccine (under 12) will have to wear a level 3 mask on court (this includes u11 and u13 athletes). Players should email their proof of vaccination to tournaments@squashontario.com. Vaccine receipts can be located at this link.
Off court, all players and spectators must wear a mask in the club, regardless of vaccination status.
If a player is not eligible to play in this event, they may sign up for the waitlist to fill any last minute openings by emailing tournaments@squashontario.com using the email title “Ontario Junior Closed Championships Waitlist”.
Squash Ontario will now have sanitization protocols in place during the tournament.
Meals will no longer be supplied at tournaments. Players will be able to purchase food and beverage from club restaurants, but we will only have certain age groups in the tournament bubble for allotted times throughout the tournament. Souvenirs, medals and prizes will still be given out.
As always, start times go out Wednesday evening and draws are posted Thursday evening, the week of the tournament.
