The National Development Squads, made up of promising under 15 and 17 players, have been named for the 2012 season.
Squash New Zealand is delighted to announce the members of the National Development Squad (NDS) for the 2012 season.

11th & 12th February
5th & 6th May
15th & 16th September

High Performance Coach Paul Hornsby said: “The NDS plays a huge part in the player pathway and future success of New Zealand Squash on the international stage. Under 15 and 17 players are mid-way through their junior squash careers and as such it is a crucial time to educate our most talented players about the demands of international squash ahead. Technical and tactical proficiency are crucial, but a real emphasis on the mental, physical and lifestyle aspects of the game will be focussed upon during the year. I look forward to being involved in the delivery of the camps.”
Congratulations to all the players named.
