1. Foreword 

• Welcoming of the French Squash Federation

With 250 players, the French Junior Open records the widest participation of its history.

Such a success, the result of fourteen years of existence, has been made possible thanks to the mobilization of the Set squash of Marseille.

It would also be proper to very cordially thank the Town of Marseille and the General Council of “Bouches-du-Rhône” as well as all the volunteers who, once more, enable this event to remain a milestone in the European squash calendar.

Jacques FONTAINE
President of the French Squash Federation

 

• Welcoming of the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur Squash League

The PACA league is proud to welcome one of the major tournaments on the Junior European Circuit, in one of the most dynamic clubs in our region, especially regarding its policy with young players.

There’s no doubt the team of organisers in Set Squash Marseilles – also club of France’s best player: Thierry Lincou – will match all the expectations as such an important event in terms of competition just as well as everything that goes with it.

I would already like to congratulate all my friends’ organisers for the quality of their work, and thank both the “Conseil Régional”, and the “Conseil Général” for their support.

To all of you players, coaches, families…
Welcome to Provence,
And welcome to Marseilles for the 6th year.

Patrick FRIBOURG
President of the PACA league
Vice-president of the French Squash Federation
