I'm so happy to be part of this new initiative by former and current top women squash players from Latin America, called Squash Latinas.
"Squash Latina is a space to promote women in squash through developmental strategies, shared experiences, integration of physical and mental wellbeing as well as simply creating a stronger sense of community.
This group consists of women representing several Latin American countries, united by our common desire to promote women in squash. We joined forces to create this platform as a means to facilitate support, solidarity and passion through our sport."

Stay tuned and follow!

Interview with Creator of Steel Courts
|
|
Previously on the Weekly Slice #14 I talked about these amazing steel court in New York.
If you missed it, check it out HERE
Today we get to know the master-mind behind this project and what impact it has had on the community and the squash world.
SquashMad correspondent and Vancouverite, Robert Pacey did a great job in this interview! Many of you may know Robert- he is a huge supporter of squash and pretty good player too! Follow him on his SquashRepublic Intagram and support him back by going with Promosapien for your product branding and events wear needs!
One of the questions from the interview:
"What about the business of the steel court?
When COVID hit Maspeth was like, how many projects are closed down? How many workers do we have and what are they going to work on? So while we had started collecting materials for the court last August, we pushed through and only recently finished.Squash courts are a commodity not a brand and this one is a marketing dream. It really is. We’ve had sales inquiries from all over the U.S. We’ve had pros that want to put together groups to buy. I’ve gotten inquiries from Canada, Singapore, India, Malaysia and Trinidad and Tobago."

Does anyone know someone in the steel business on the Island?!
Seriously!
Maybe other materials....but what a way to promote the business, as well as the area.
