Young Scrabble players
Click picture for info
We would like to find clever young people to rise to the challenge of becoming world class Scrabble Players. To get there you need encouragement from parents, training in word knowledge and strategy and opportunities to play competitively. The first major goal is to be ready to compete in the 2024 Australian Junior Scrabble Championship which will be a one day competition in August in New South Wales. It will be open to all Australian resident children born after 1 Jan 2007. There will be an overall winner, as well as age category winners: under 8, under 10, under 12, under 14.

Longer term goals are to represent Australia in the World Youth Cup which is held yearly.
