The past two weekends were nothing short of spectacular for YS Badminton at the Queensland Open Championships. With fierce competition across all grades, our athletes stepped up with passion, skill, and unshakable determination—achieving an incredible 9 gold medals and 10 silvers.
Junior Athletes Rising to the Challenge
We are especially proud of our junior players, who not only competed in the under-17 events but also bravely took on C and D-grade categories. Many matches went down to the wire, with several juniors just shy of finals appearances. Their performance reflected the heart, resilience, and fighting spirit that define YS Badminton. Their growth is only just beginning, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
Coaches Leading by Example
Our coaches weren’t just on the sidelines—they were right in the thick of the action. By competing alongside our players, they demonstrated that growth never stops. Their commitment to continuous improvement is a powerful example for all athletes, reinforcing that discipline, hard work, and passion are lifelong pursuits.
Adult Players: Growth Beyond Age
YS Badminton’s dedication to growth at every level was evident through our adult students and players, who competed fiercely across A, B, C, and D-grade events. Their performances prove that improvement and achievement aren’t limited to the young—everyone, regardless of age, can strive for excellence.
Whether competing on court or supporting from the sidelines, the YS Badminton spirit was alive and thriving. This tournament was a true celebration of our collective dedication and love for the sport.
