EUROPEAN JUNIOR CHAMPIONS

The first youth championship in Europe was the European Junior Championship for under age 20. It was played from 1971-2002 and mostly organized in Holland by Johan Zwanepol. The girls championship began in 1977. Both events stopped to exist after ECU leaders believe that the players were strong enough to be incorporated into the European Individual Championships.
