The team of Liam Cotton (16), Reuben Fisher (14), Josh Askin (12), Ali Harris (14) and Connor Haggie (17) qualified for the D grade championships in Gisborne in September when it beat Wanaka 4-1 and Omakau 3-2 at the weekend.
Members of the Otago Development squad, the boys are from different clubs and joined together under the Logan Park club colours to qualify.
"They are the youngest team ever to represent the Otago district," Squash Otago's executive officer, Aynsley Munro, told the Otago Daily Times yesterday.
The previous youngest team was the Sunnyvale D grade team that represented the district last year.
It comprised three teenagers and two senior players.
"It will be an exciting time for the boys," Munro said.
"Sixty percent of their opponents will be adults."
Susan Cormick, a parent, said "the boys decided to form a team off their own bat.
They get on so well together and this is what they wanted to do".
Cotton, Fisher and Harris are pupils at Otago Boys' High School, Haggie at Kavanagh College and Askin attends Balmacewen Intermediate.
An additional task over the next two months is to raise the $6300 needed for the trip.
They have already started by washing windows and selling raffles for firewood.
"They will do anything and work at any job to get there," Cormick said.
Teams representing Otago at the New Zealand championships: B grade (Alexandra): Pirates (men), Logan Park (women); C grade (Palmerston North): University (men and women); D grade (Gisborne): Logan Park (men); E grade (Cambridge): Alexandra (men), Cromwell (women).
