Poland To Host WSF Development & Coaching Conference by Howard Harding 12 February 2014
- The World Squash Federation has appointed the Polish city of Krakow
to host the 2014 WSF Development & Coaching Conference.
Incorporating a
progression theme, the title for the biennial four-day international
gathering is 'From Talent to Excellence'. The event will take place
from 25-28 June and will feature presentations from world class coaches
and players.
The Conference is
being held in conjunction with the Polish League Finals, an
international all-glass court event held in a square of the historic
city.
Welcoming the
opportunity for a large number of Polish coaches to join with
international attendees, Polish Squash Federation Director of Sport
Maciej Klis said: "Squash is the fastest-growing of all sports in
Poland and it is important for us to have the opportunity to host top
overseas players at our Finals, and now to interact with the cream of
coaches in the world to help widen our knowledge and skills.
"This WSF Conference
is a very important step for the Polish coach education system where
the numbers and quality has grown rapidly in last couple of years."
WSF Chief Executive
Andrew Shelley added: "We look forward to finalising a world class
programme for the Conference, to stimulate the attendees. Furthermore,
the event will give the opportunity for many worldwide coaches to visit
Krakow for the first time - and that will be a memorable experience in
itself too!"
