USA Badminton is excited to announce the dates and location for the 2025 YONEX USA BADMINTON JUNIOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!
The 2025 YONEX USA BADMINTON JUNIOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS will take place at the Saint Paul RiverCentre in Saint Paul, Minnesota, from July 1 – July 7, 2025.
This prestigious tournament will feature competition for athletes in the U11, U13, U15, U17, and U19 age groups. USA Badminton is pleased to open the event to both U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens residing in the United States (excluding those on short-term visas, such as B visas).
Official Hotel:
The InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront is the official hotel, only three blocks away from the Saint Paul RiverCentre, and is located right next to the Mississippi River. Guests can use the Skyway to access the venue in case of poor weather. The hotel is easily accessible via the Light Rail from the airport (three-block walk from the Light Rail station to the hotel). The USA Badminton group rate is $129 per night plus taxes and fees.
Transportation:
The Light Rail conveniently connects the airport, official hotel, and downtown area to other major attractions in the Minneapolis-St Paul area. We recommend utilizing public transportation/train or taxi/Uber/Lyft to and from the hotel and airport rather than renting a car. Parking in the St. Paul area can be quite limited and expensive, making it a challenge for those looking for convenient spots. Visitors with cars should be prepared to pay for parking for both the hotel and venue with no in-and-out access.
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that players and their families walk and take public transportation to and from the official hotel and venue (five minute walk, three-blocks).
Before You Go:
The surrounding area offers a plethora of restaurants and places to explore. The Science Museum of Minnesota offers interactive exhibits for all ages, and is located directly across from the venue. For a taste of local culture, head to the Landmark Center, a historic building turned cultural venue, or stroll through the picturesque Rice Park. The world-famous Mall of America is a premier shopping and amusement park destination for family fun.
