BARCELONA GLOBAL SQUASH BARCELONAGLOBALSQUASH Barcelona Global Squash was established in 2015 by Head Coach Victor Montserrat and CEO Adrian Blakemore and run out of Barcelona’s most prestigious sports and wellness centres Club Metropolitan (associated with previous editions of the PSA Ciutat de Barcelona) and Club Arsenal is widely acknowledged as one of Europe’s most progressive squash academies. Victor Montserrat, a former international player, 1997 Spanish Open Champion and Spanish No.1 for six consecutive years, and ex-Scottish junior Adrian Blakemore came together with a common vision: “to offer world class coaching, in the best facilities, in a wonderful modern location, all within a playercentred framework, where pursuit of high performance in squash can live side by side with academics, wellness, participation for all, and sustained sports activity”. Located in the centre of Barcelona, one of Europe’s most dynamic, smart and colourful cities as well as being an international landmark for global sport, Barcelona Global Squash is helping revitalise Spanish squash and aims to become a reference for European high performance within the sport. Barcelona was the city that changed the course of the Olympics and is the European city with the most practitioners of sport, offering expertise, sports science and training facilities second to none located within one of Europe’s most attractive destinations. Barcelona Global Squash comprises the BGS Performance Academy where a new generation of Spanish talent is being developed. Amongst its leading players who include all those making up the Spanish junior team that came third in the 2014 World Junior Championships in Namibia, Victor Montserrat is coaching and nurturing the talents of Iker Pajares and Edmon Lopez, two of the youngest players ranked in the world’s top 120. The BGS Performance Academy is aimed at maturing juniors who wish to make the transition to the Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Tour. In addition to its Performance Academy, Barcelona Global Squash also runs International Elite Junior Summer Camps which offer intensive in-depth training for advanced highperformance juniors who are already training and competing in their own native countries at national or international level. Optional activities include academia (language, SAT preparation for the American Universities) and the many attractive cultural and leisure activities that Barcelona as a city offers. Furthermore, Barcelona Global Squash also offers weekend clinics to club and amateur players interested in receiving top class tuition in combination with the best of the Mediterranean’s gastronomy. Similar clinics are also organised in other clubs in and around Spain. To cap the list of services, personalised programs are also offered to professionals and amateurs alike looking for customised training programs to improve their game.
