5 Sanctioned Junior Squash Events with an Amazing prize up for grabs!
what is this?
The Peter Nicol Junior Open Squash Series is an innovative series of 5 bronze sanctioned tournaments played in 5 counties over the 2010/2011 season with an unbelieveable prize for those that do well!
why a series of 5 tournaments?
A unique series of 5 Bronze Sanctioned events that will get you ESR ranking points. In addition, series points will also be awarded based on finishing positions in each of the 5 events and added together as a cumulative series total. The top 4 in each age group will be invited to a free training day which will be run by Lee Drew with Paul Carter (see below for info about them!) and the top 2 will be invited to the ISS Canary Wharf Squash Classic for a finals match, a coaching session with Peter Nicol and a Q&A session with the top players (in 2010 it was with Peter Nicol, James Willstrop and Thierry Lincou, in 2011 its Nick Matthew) and a free ticket to watch the evening’s play.
This is a fantastic and unique prize, unlike any other available in junior squash in England.
