Established in 1948, the Junior Orange Bowl
celebrates youth sports and arts at a series of competitions in
basketball, chess, creative writing, cross-country, golf and more! Young
people from around the world gather in Miami to challenge each other at
gymnastic competitions, ice hockey and tennis matches and vie to be
named top scholar athlete. The sporting events culminate in a gala
parade with floats running through the streets of Coral Gables.
One of the most popular tournaments of the Junior
Orange Bowl, the International Tennis Championship is a real proving
ground for up-and-coming stars who have included such legends as Jim
Courier, Anna Kournikova and Andre Agassi (in his long haired days).
Fans of the sport flock to the final rounds to see who might be the next
star at the US Open or Wimbledon. Chris Evert, Jimmy Connors and Steffi
Graf are Orange Bowl champs.
Adding to the excitement, 1964 kicked off the first
Junior Orange Bowl Golf Championship where a kid called Tiger Woods took
the top prize in 1991. By the 70s, soccer and women's golf were added
and creative arts, photography, and even cheerleading competitions took
flight in the 80s. Check out the official website to get updates on
event schedules, volunteer opportunities and all the latest scores. From
October through the New Year's Parade, the Junior Orange Bowl is a
unique way to celebrate South Florida's youngest achievers!
