A group of 17 squash players from Poland will be visiting the Marsa Sports Club from the 6th till 13th April 2008 to take part in an international squash training camp.

Marsa Squash Academy’s policy is to give equal opportunities to players of all standards to compete and to train. This is reflected in the varying standards of the visiting players, with players ranging from hobby players to nationally ranked players.

Tomasz Abramowkis is the visiting squad number one player. He is  one of the newer Polish players to break into the Polish top ten. Tomasz, currently ranked number five in Poland, has only been playing squash for three years and is hoping to boost his chance of breaking into the senior national team later this year.

Poland's top two ladies, Dominika Witkowska - Polish national champion and number one, and Polish ranked number two Anna Sikorska, will also be taking part.  The remaining 15 players vary in standard from 'enthusiastic hobby players' to 'serious' tournament players.

Two team matches will be arranged as part of this trip against a selection of Marsa players, giving the locals a chance to test themselves against international competition.

The first team match will take place on Tuesday 8th April and the second on Thursday 10th April, both at the Marsa Sports Club and starting at 17.30.

A tournament will be held at the Marsa Sports Club on Friday 11th & Saturday 12th April.

The INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP TOURNAMENT will have an 'A' & a 'B' event giving players of all standards the chance to take part in an international event. Matches start on Friday at 17.30 and continue on Saturday at 11.00, with the finals scheduled for around 18.30.

Players and guests are welcome to attend all events and support the Marsa Squash teams and local players in what should be very entertaining and close matches.

As part of her continued development as a professional squash coach, Dominica Witkowska will be arriving one week before the main Polish group.  Dominika is the Polish National Junior Squash coach and she will be spending the week working and training with a wide range of players of various standards. This will be done under the guidance of Academy coach Paul Lake who will be helping her develop her coaching skills further.

Dominika has been coaching professionally full-time for four years; she is the current Polish Ladies squash champion (ranked No 1 in Poland) and is a qualified ESF L2 Coach (European Squash Federation Level 2 Coach). 

Players interested in taking a lesson with Dominika (from the 2nd – 5th April) should contact Paul on info@maltasquashacademy.com.
