National Junior Circuit (NJC) Schedule of Events for 2026 – 2027

Squash Canada is pleased to announce the 2026 – 2027 National Junior Circuit (NJC) schedule. 

The NJC is designed for high-performance athletes in the Under-15, Under-17, and Under-19 categories who are in the “Train to Train” and “Train to Compete” stages of the Long-Term Development Model. These athletes have progressed through provincial, territorial, and regional pathways and are now competing at the national level.  

For the 2026 – 2027 season, the number of NJC Platinum events will remain at 7, alongside 11 NJC Gold events. For information on how the National Junior Circuit (NJC) ranking system works: Click Here. We ask all affected athletes to review this NJC Policy (Click Here) for familiarity. 

Additionally, players wishing to play up must register in their respective age division and then request to move divisions by completing the following form before the closing date: Click Here. For more details, please review the “Competing in Higher Age Divisions” Section in the NJC Policy. 

NJC rankings will be used to select athletes for major events, including the World Squash Junior Championships, Pan American Junior Championships, Battle of the Border, and for international event endorsements such as the USJO and BJO. 

We look forward to seeing all the great matches at these upcoming events. If you have any questions about the National Junior Circuit, please contact William Kuhn, Squash Canada Event Manager, at william.kuhn@squash.ca.
