01/12/2011 - 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. The NDS is made up of under 15 and 17 boys and girls who have shown the potential to develop and move into the World Junior Squads in future years. The Squad will meet for three training camps in Auckland throughout the year, and be delivered by Lindsey Walters and Edmund Bradford. The dates of the camps are: 11th & 12th February 5th & 6th May 15th & 16th September The 2012 NDS Members are as follows (in alphabetical order): Britney Hill Anna Hughes Luke Jones Nikki Kennedy Parearau Kutia Chapman Kutia Jordan Le Comte Jamie Oakley Casey Owen Henry Pyc Alex Revington Sam Sayes Callum Seymour Camden Te-Kani McQueen Ellen Verry Montel Whatarangi 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.
