The BSRA is pleased to announce that Junior squash players from Bermuda and abroad will have a unique opportunity to compete in their own squash championship while the world’s top players will be in Bermuda competing in the Endurance World Open Bermuda 2007 Squash Championships.
Squash spokesman, Roger Sherratt, says, “With all of the world’s top professional players coming to the Island to compete in the Endurance World Open Bermuda 2007 Squash Championship at the end of November, it is a real plus for us to be hosting the Bank of Bermuda Foundation Junior Squash Championships 2007, being held from 30th November – 2nd December, to coincide with the World Open. It is an excellent tournament for junior boys and girls ranging in age from Under 13 to Under 19 and is open to juniors from overseas who can experience the trip of a lifetime where they not only enjoy their own tournament, but they can also see the best players in the world competing for the biggest prize in squash – the World Open title.
This prestigious junior championship is sanctioned by the U.S. Squash Racquets Association, allowing our local juniors the opportunity to play for US ranking points on home soil, which can be invaluable when seeking entrance to US schools.
David Lang on behalf of the Bank of Bermuda Foundation says, ““Bank of Bermuda Foundation is pleased to be title sponsor of the Bank of Bermuda Foundation Junior Open Squash Championships 2007. Bermuda is brimming with young, talented athletes and we see this tournament as a great opportunity for the Island’s young squash players to showcase their skills here at home while competing with their peers from around the globe”.
When asked about interest from overseas, Roger Sherratt, told the Mid Ocean News, “We are already receiving entries from around the world, from several Caribbean Islands, the U.S. and Canada, and from as far away as India and Pakistan. Two of the girls from the U.S. are ranked in their top 10 – Amanda Sobhy being ranked U.S. #1 in Girls Under 15.”
