In our mission to boost participation, we support talented Squash players of all abilities, who are underrepresented, in an effort to reach their goals in the sport and much more.
Whether you are an experienced Squash talent based in the UK or living in one of the emerging countries, in which the sport is developing a strong following (via an intermediary).
By working collaboratively we offer support and advise you all the way in accomplishing your dreams of playing Squash on the world stage.
What makes us different:
Unlike most commercial sports agencies, we will not take a percentage of any sponsoring deals you obtain and we treat you like a business partner. Furthermore, as part of our Talent Support programme, you automatically become a brand ambassador for our company and showcase your talent in our community outreach events with squash provision partners.
What we can do for you:
We can work on a robust PR strategy that can help get your name out there to potential sponsors.
Even though we are a social enterprise company, we have strong connections in media, PR, and legal professions who can help you in becoming the next Squash star.
- Junior Squash players (UK/International) – You may want some mentoring in terms of how to manage your education alongside squash activities or just some advice on how to manage your social media activities to promote your talent. Note, if you are a Squash player under the age of 18, we would need consent from your parents/guardians to speak with you alternatively allow them to contact us to discuss a career development plan for a playing career in Squash.
- Senior Squash players (UK) – if you need help approaching a sponsor, we can map out for you a plan to promote your talent and talk with agencies on your behalf.
- Senior Squash players (International) – if you are an international Squash player, we can seek legal representation for you if you are looking to play in the UK. (Note: legal representation is subject to requirements). As part of our commitment to you, we provide assistance in getting you on educational courses to help improve your English vocabulary and identify any courses to improve your communication skills when dealing with the media.
Player health and wellbeing:
When it comes to your health and wellbeing, we take pride and can offer support by referring you to our qualified experts in the fields of holistic therapy and life coaching, who can help you in both personal and professional life on/off the Squash court.
The Onyx Squash Academy is committed to safeguarding the welfare of both young athletes and adults both on/off the Squash court.
Professional development:
If you are an elite Squash player, who is looking for advice on studying or career development beyond playing, we have connections who can help you plan your next move.
Let’s talk:
All discussions are confidential and require no payment.
