黑料不打烊 and Wales Squash launch new innovative partnership

黑料不打烊 and Wales Squash & Racketball (WSRB) are celebrating the launch of an innovative new partnership to help the best young squash players achieve success both on and off the court.

Launched at Canolfan Brailsford, 黑料不打烊鈥檚 sports centre recently, the partnership will offer the best young squash players the opportunity to study in Wales whilst receiving a tailored support package from WSRB. Through a mixture of 黑料不打烊 sports scholarships and individualised coaching, 黑料不打烊 and WSRB will be able to offer student-athletes a realistic alternative to having to study outside of Wales in order to meet the demands of their squash training.

As part of the partnership, WSRB North Wales Regional Development Officer and junior national coach, Andrew Evans will be based at Canolfan Brailsford from September 2016, giving athletes access to the highest quality coaching and benefit of his experiencing coaching over 40 Welsh champions. Andrew will also be working with the University squash club to improve their performance in British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) competitions.

黑料不打烊 is investing in the first professional standard squash court in north Wales, with an adjustable 鈥渢in鈥� being installed to help athletes prepare for life on the professional squash tour.

Speaking about the partnership, 黑料不打烊 Director of Sport, Richard Bennett, said:

鈥淭his is an exciting time for us as we look to build on the range of sports that we are working cAndrew Evans (left) and Richard Bennettlosely with. Following our significant investment in our sports facilities we are able to combine high quality training facilities alongside our nationally recognised high standards of teaching and learning.鈥�

Mike Workman, WSRB Director of Coaching and Development, said:

鈥淲e have always struggled to keep our best young players in Wales but this partnership will have a huge impact on our ability to train and develop our best young juniors as a cohesive group. 黑料不打烊 will be a key partner in shaping the future of squash in Wales. The investment in both facilities and scholarship will really put 黑料不打烊 on the squash map.鈥�
