Steve Mooney, Squash 101 Champion in Devon said,

'The support from England Squash has been brilliant and it has enabled me to promote Squash 101 around the county and organise a Squash 101 Leader's award for students at Exeter College. If it wasn't for the Squash 101 Champion initiative, I wouldn't have been able to promote squash to so many people'
