This nomination is testament to the energy and commitment of everyone involved in Squash Girls Can and encouraging more women and girls on court.

“The initiative has tasted great success over the last 12 months with thousands of women and girls picking up a racket, and this is only set to increase as we launch additional sessions across England and train up more leaders. We are very grateful to Sport England for their continued support.”
