Fylde Coast YMCA recently received an ‘Awards for All’ funding boost for local children in Wyre and Fylde area. The £9,191 funding (£6500 for squash court maintenance/£2,500 for Junior Development) includes the delivery of a Junior Squash Development Programme by Andy Dahl the squash coach. The programme will see squash introduced to over 500 children in over 20 local schools on the newly refurbished glass backed squash courts at Thornton YMCA. The programme is due to commence after Easter.
Dave Carter, the General Manager at Thornton YMCA said: “We are really excited about the development programme. The whole idea is to offer young people the chance to get into a new sport by offering superb facilities and equipment along with the coaching expertise, which we and England Squash & Racketball can provide. We also hope to identify stars of the future and give them the support to realise their full potential.”
