Reciprocal Training with SAAS

Last week SAAS (South Australian Acadamy of Squash) top players Aaron Fyfe and Justin Beard used Maash as their traning base before going off to the tournament at Coffs on the weekend. Maash and SAAS recently reached an agreement to share facilities for our top players. Soon 4 of the Maash elite training squad are going to Adelaide for a month to receive direction and coaching from one of Australia's top coaches Geoff Davenport. The players lucky enough to be chosen for this are Nathan Kam, Eb Swan, Simon Summers and Wes Cusick. A month long squash environment will test these players and show them what its like on the squash circuit. Good luck to them all.
