When the NASH Cup professional draw was launched in 2008, a primary objective was to enhance the opportunities for top local players. London is blessed with a vibrant squash community, supporting eight facilities and over 25 international singles courts. We have junior programs that are the envy of the province, and the strongest university program in the country. Helping our local athletes make the jump from amateur to professional status is a critical piece in leveraging these strengths.
