| HISTORY
OF WORLD JUNIOR MEN'S TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Although
the ISRF World Junior Team Championship started in 1980 there
had been a forerunner operating since 1972. In England it
was decided to start a team event to coincide with the British
Junior Open, and the first was held between 11 / 13 April
1973. Four countries, England, Scotland, Wales and Sweden
took part at the courts of the National Westminster Bank Sports
Ground in South London, playing for a shield presented by
the Bank. The event was titled the Junior International Festival.
Every
year until 1980 the unofficial international festival was
staged, gaining in numbers and breadth of international competition.
The United States has competed in all but 2 of the World
Championships. Its best finish was in 2002 when it finished
7th. It had a great year in 1984 finishing 10th, and recently
had its 3rd highest finish ever in 2006 when they finished
13th in New Zealand. Click on the USA Team to see their roster
that year.
