Congratulations to everyone who was selected to represent Otago Badminton in the upcoming South Island Tournaments.
- U13 & U19 Christchurch 5th & 6th July
- U15 & U17 Christchurch 13th to the 18th July
We need confirmation from all players, so these teams are provisional until confirmed.
Update 23 May:
With a number of players unavailable, it has become impossible to enter two U15 teams. So the list below is now the teams and players named to attend the South Island Tournament this year.
My sincere apologies to the U15 players who are now not selected. We did everything possible. If you wish, I can put your names forward to play for other provinces that are short, and you can also enter the U15 South Island Individuals on your own (Ward can help with this if you need it).
For the teams selected: Deposits and forms are due back now. So if you are named below and have yet to do so, can you please do this as soon as you can.

Update May 7:
We are still looking for players in the second U15 team (especially boys!). We have asked other provinces if they have spare players and will continue to look at players within Otago.
Should players not be available or pull out it will affect the viability of the team and may mean we have to reduce the teams going. We have until the end of this month (May) to make our final confirmation. After this we will face a hefty fine if we have to pull a team out.
I know there will be many questions. I have found that the best way to answer these is with a parents/players meeting and would like to invite you along on
- Wednesday the 14th May at 5.30pm.
If you are one of our veterans, there is no need to come if you have no questions.
The names below are in no order of ability within the team. This will be assessed over this term and decided on close to the tournament by your coaches.
I look forward to seeing you all at the hall on the 14th!
Regards,
Ward
