Junior trials this week: 100+ players in Ahmedabad fight for the U14 & U18 squads

Trials

India's junior squad for Da Nang gets decided this week. The IPA's Junior Pickleball Championship runs June 12–14 in Ahmedabad, with more than 100 players from Delhi, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Assam, Rajasthan, Odisha, Haryana, Gujarat and beyond competing for U14 and U18 places.

Selection is on pure competitive merit at this one event — no rankings — plus mandatory fitness testing. Names to watch include Arjun Singh, who took three medals at the US Open, and Naomi Amalsadiwala; the benchmark is set by Veer Shah, the 2025 World Cup Junior MVP.

We'll post results here as the trials unfold.
