January 13-21 2025 in Perth WA, 70+ young players from NSW participated in AJCC this year, out of which 30+ are from JZMC Group.

Great atmosphere: families travelling together, supporting each other and building friendships.

On-site coaching

NSW has the tradition of sending coaches to help out young players prepare and learn from each game, which many families and students found beneficial. This year the three coaches were IM Mihajlo Radovanovic (NSWJCL Nomination) FM Alexis Vargas Arteaga (NSWJCL Nomination) and CM Brendan Anderson (JZMC).
