PRESS RELEASE
T-Shirt Sponsor boost for Leyland Squash Kids!
“SHOUT PRESTON” a local company recently agreed a sponsorship deal to provide T-Shirts for the squash-mad kids at Leyland Leisure Centre. The deal was finalised by the Centre’s Squash Coach John Gibson who is sponsored by HEAD UK.
As Maria Coupe from the company said “I fully realise the tremendous benefits children can gain from playing sports, especially such an active sport as squash, and we are delighted to support the local children at the Leyland Lions Junior Squash Club”
Martin Grayston, the Estates Manager at the Centre and a squash player himself said, “It great to see so many juniors now playing squash at the centre. Prior to John’s arrival in 2005 there were no youngsters. Now thanks to the hard work and enthusiasm from John, we now have over 30 youngsters ranging from 5 years upwards. The minisquash sessions for 5 to 11 year olds, part of the England Squash National Coaching Scheme, are proving extremely popular with the kids. We are a Sport England Clubmark Club, part of England Squash’s national accreditation scheme, and have school-club links with local schools.
John said, “SHOUT Preston’” generous contribution to the juniors at the Centre is really appreciated. Its so important for children to be supported at grass roots level, so encouraging any talent to be developed properly”
