Having started her badminton pathway as young as when she was just eight, Diveena Thanabalan has not quite tasted the sweet nectar of success.
 
Now, a confident lass at 15 years old, Diveena's participation in the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship has not exactly been stellar.
 
"I have to admit that it has been a difficult journey but I'm not giving up yet," said the Form Three student of SMJK Keat Hwa 1.
 
"I still feel confident that I can do better, and it is something which I need to work on."
 
At the inaugural edition of the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship in 2022, Diveena bowed out in the second round while last year, she crashed out in the very first round.
 
However this year, Diveena managed to make it to the quarterfinals of the event.
 
There seems to be an improvement in her performance too this year where she also made it to the quarterfinals of three other events she took part in earlier.
 
"I have issues with my backhand and I have been trying hard to improve on that this year," she added.
 
"The Allianz Junior Badminton Championship has been something which I really look forward to. And I'm a little sad that I can't take part next year.".

What started out as just a means to please her younger brother has turned out to be a passion for the sport of badminton for Nichole Lai Jia Xuan.
 
"At the start, I don't like to play any sports at all. But my younger brother wanted to play badminton so much, so I started to play with him," said the 13-year-old Nichole, who studies at Keat Hwa High School, here in Alor Setar.
 
"Now I really love playing badminton. It is something which I think I can do well in."
 
Alongside 10-year-old brother Jayden Lai Jia Yi, the siblings were in Alor Setar for the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship 2024.
 
Nichole has been attending the Tan Kuan Badminton Academy for the last two years where she received two hours of training three to four times a week.
 
Aspiring to be as good a player as her idol Pearly Tan, Nichole said she needs to work on her backhand to bring her game to the next level.
 
"I feel confident, but my backhand is still a little lagging. I need to work on that," added Nichole.

It was just five months ago that Raynard Siew and Zackry Kam first picked up a badminton racquet.
 
But after some intense training from watching YouTube, the pair of 15-year-olds are ready to test their mettle in the Kuala Lumpur leg of the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship 2024.
 
"We know that it will be our one and only AJBC but we are giving it our all," said Raynard.
 
Added Zackry: "We know that we will be up against state players and those who have been playing badminton since they were small. But we are confident."
 
The duo from SMK Taman Desa in Kuala Lumpur trained on their own without a coach or being part of a club.
 
They often spar against other players at open courts while at the same time regularly study the technique of well-known players.
 
"We did not play sports at all previously but this year, we thought that we should give badminton a shot," Zackry said.
 
Added Raynard: "We know about AJBC last year, so over the last several months, we have been working real hard on our own to see how far we have come since the start of this year."

With young Malaysian star Siti Nurshuhaini Azman as her auntie, pedigree is everything for Siti Nur Aminah Abdullah.
 
The 13-year-old grows up with badminton as long as she can remember through the enthusiastic involvement of her grandfather, Azman Amar, and father, Abdullah Mohamad.
 
"It's badminton or nothing for me, I suppose, as this game is part of my family. And with Siti Nurshuhaini making a name for herself, I want to follow suit," said the Form One student of SMK Bukit Sentosa 2 in Rawang.
 
Having been a Selangor state player for the past four years, Siti Nur Aminah is taking part in her first Allianz Junior Badminton Championship 2024 in Kuala Lumpur.
 
She is down for both the Girls' Under -13 Singles and Doubles alongside partner 12-year-old Adiq Puteri Waheeda (from SK Sungai Choh).
 
In the last several months, Siti Nur Aminah has won all four tournaments she took part in.

Five months is not a long time for anything and for coach Taamodaran Nantha Kumaran, he is not expecting a miracle from his group of young players with the Edin Badminton Club.
 
The batch of 26 players from Edin BC made their debut in the Kuala Lumpur leg of the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship 2024, consisting of four girls and 22 boys.
 
"It is too soon to be expecting results as this is our first time taking part in a competitive atmosphere," said Taamodaran, who teaches at SJKT Ladang Edinburgh in Taman Bukit Maluri.
 
There are currently four coaches teaching young players badminton at the school to about 40 players from Form 4 to Form 6.
 
"We decided to start this badminton club as it is a good avenue to give players the chance to play against other players from outside the school," added Taamodaran.
 
"I believe that the players have the potential to go far. They just need a platform like Allianz Junior Badminton Championship to give them that opportunity."

In spite of the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship still being in its infancy, for coach Ahmad Yutih from SNH Academy it is a much looked forward to event.
 
The Allianz Junior Badminton Championship was formed in 2022 but is only into its second year in Sabah and Sarawak.
 
The Sabah leg of the event was not held in its inaugural year.
 
"After first taking part last year, we felt that the organisational level of AJBC is very high," said Ahmad.
 
"We don't have to worry about anything in terms of the organisation is concerned. We just bring the players and that's it.”
 
"Some of the other events, there were always issues with the Order of Play or not having enough players. So definitely, we look forward to this event every year. Afterall, the players also get a nice t-shirt each."
 
Based in Tawau - some 450km away from Kota Kinabalu - the SNH Academy has been around for more than 20 years.
 
They are proud of the fact that their oldest player is now aged 32-years-old.
 
There are currently around 70 players in SNH Academy where last year, four of their players made the cut to the Grand Finals of the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship in Kuala Lumpur.
 
"Other than the usual drills in badminton training, our philosophy is that the parents must play a part in the development of players," he added.
 
"While the drive from Tawau to Kinabalu is quite tiring, it is still an opportunity for family time travelling in a convoy with other families."

Mohammad Qalif Naufal bin Azrulrafik might not have gotten an overwhelming support from his parents to excel, but that has not stopped the 14-year-old from having a go at it.
 
The Form Two student of SMK Tengku Aris Bendahara here in Kluang, took part in his first ever Allianz Junior Badminton Championship 2024.
 
"For the most part, I started to play badminton all on my own," said Mohammad Qalif.
 
"I cannot take part in competitions outside of Kluang. But since this Allianz event is in Kluang, I registered as soon as registration opened up."
 
Muhammad Qalif has been playing the sport since four years ago and he only started to receive proper training in the last year.

It was a long four-hour drive from Klang in Selangor to Kluang in Johor but Chu Jing Xuan made it all worth the effort.
 
The 13-year-old from SMK Convent in Klang won the Girls' Under-13 Singles of the Kluang qualifying round of the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship 2024 when she beat Hew Yu Xing from Real School in less than 30 minutes.
 
"I was determined to do better than I did last year. I felt that I did not do enough in 2023 so I had to put in the hours," said Jing Xuan.
 
"I concentrated more on improving my skills and it showed where this year I have won three out of five tournaments that I have taken part in.”
 
"It is just too bad that I could not win the Doubles (with Ivy Liau) when we lost in the semifinals." In 2023, Jing Xuan was the runners-up in both the Johor qualifying round of the Girls' U13 Singles and Doubles (with partner Ivy Liau).
 
However, in the 2023 Grand Finals of the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship in Kuala Lumpur, Jing Xuan and partner could not progress beyond the group stage.
 
"Competitions like Allianz Junior Badminton Championship is very good for me as it is really competitive," she added.
 
"You really have to be very good and work hard during training. I once went to Indonesia last year and took part in an age group competition. I could not even make past the first round.”
 
"So, for us young players, we want a competitive atmosphere and not an event just for fun."
