The Karakal Midlands Masters has established itself as a key fixture in the squash calendar, attracting seasoned players from all corners of the UK. The tournament aims to foster inclusivity and encourage competitive participation at all skill levels within the age groups, contributing to the growth and vibrancy of squash communities across the nation.

Players will battle it out on the six state-of-the-art courts at WLTSC, with the hope of securing victory and, for some, the opportunity to represent England in international matches.

“We believe in not only providing a platform for our players to showcase their skills but also in offering them the chance to elevate their game to new heights on the international stage, representing their home nation” added Mike Harris.
