The 50th Anniversary Juarez Handball Tournament Presented by the WPH will highlight the tremendous WPH Juarez junior program at the 50th Anniversary event, with juniors competing in junior tournament divisions and a special junior clinic during the event.

“We are so proud of the juniors participating in the Junior WPH Juarez group and the incredible group of coaches and volunteers that serve as mentors and chaperones to the great group of young handball players,” stated WPH Development Director David Fink. “The Juarez juniors have improved tremendously since the start of their major handball tournament journey in June. The Juarez junior players are passionate, eager to learn and cannot wait to jump back on the court, win or lose.”
The 50th Anniversary Juarez Handball Tournament Presented by the WPH will crown a new Open Singles Champion, as defending champion and 7th ranked WPH R48 pro Daniel Cordova will not be playing. A strong contingent of players from Juarez, El Paso and surrounding states in the Southwest will make for a highly competitive draw.
