Young talents from the clubs ASV Mals, SSV Bozen, and ASV Überetsch participated. In exciting singles and doubles competitions, the children demonstrated great commitment and, above all, a passion for badminton. The host club, ASV Mals, ensured the smooth running of the matches and ensured full attention and focus on the "little ones" – the doubles competitions were held only in the U11 category!

"All the children played brilliantly today, so there are only winners," emphasized VSS badminton coach Claudia Nista. At the final awards ceremony in the high school hall, all participants were rewarded with medals for their efforts. The new state champions also received trophies and non-cash prizes (all donated by the VSS).
