2017 Leaving a Legacy

World sporting events provide us with an opportunity to celebrate the participation and achievements of the best athletes and teams on the planet.  The athletes in the World Junior Squash Championships started as young children and youth with big dreams – now they’re representing their country on the world stage. Someone somewhere inspired them to great things, to be their personal best and to apply themselves to something they enjoyed.  We’re committed to providing a long-term legacy programme which will enhance the experience of squash for all areas of the community.
