A place at the 2027 FIP Junior World Cup is on the line, and 24 of America’s brightest young padel players are heading to Cancun, Mexico, to fight for it. From November 10 to 14, 2026, the US National Junior Padel Team takes on the best junior nations from across the Americas at the FIP Junior America Padel Cup.

One week, one goal

For the US junior program, this is the biggest team event of the year. The Junior America Padel Cup doubles as the continental qualifier for the 2027 FIP Junior World Cup, which means five days in Cancun will decide whether the Stars and Stripes are represented on the world stage next year.

Organized by the International Padel Federation (FIP) and hosted by the Mexican Federation of Padel, the event pits country against country in Under-14, Under-16, and Under-18 categories for boys and girls. It also closes out a landmark year for youth padel: 2026 is the first season in which all four FIP Junior Continental Cups have been played in the same calendar year.

Meet the team

The squad brings together 12 girls and 12 boys, selected from applicants across the country.

Leading the group from the bench are coaches Lorena Rouillon Jimenez and Jaume Rouillon Jimenez, Manuel Avina and Leticia Martinez Bordiu serving as Team Delegates, with Cynthia Rico, Rudi Kalil, and Juan De La Torre for additional team support.
