June 3, 2012 - National Capital Squash is pleased to announce the third annual junior awards in recognition of the achievements of juniors who have excelled in US Squash sanctioned tournament play during the 2011-2012 season.

All awards were based on objective standards, with awards at three levels – MVP, for players generally ranked in the top 32 nationally, All-Star, for players generally ranked #33 to #64, and National Team for players generally ranked in the top 128 nationally or in the top half in Under 15 age groups in the NCS district.  Awards were also presented for rookies of the year and most improved players.

Each award winner was presented with a nice trophy or plaque at a ceremony held at the L2 Lounge in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington DC.  Each player’s season highlights were noted at the ceremony.
