Squash Ireland has expanded its team with the appointment of Dave Broderick as the new full-time Club and Community Development Officer.
CEO Scott Graham commented: “Dave joins us from pitch and putt and brings excellent experience in sport and development.
“We’re currently developing a plan to bring more squash community activators on board, people who will focus on delivering squash sessions, coaching and running programmes in schools, clubs and local communities.
“Our goal is to have these activators working across each province, while Dave will oversee grant management, coordination and the administrative and logistical side of operations.
“In parallel, squash coaches and other professionals will be out on the ground delivering programmes. It’s still a work in progress, but with Dave now in place full-time, we’re on track to revitalise our development efforts.”
Broderick added: “I’m delighted to join the squash community following roles in hockey, triathlon and, most recently, pitch and putt.
“I’m passionate about helping clubs and sports organisations grow and develop sustainably. I look forward to promoting squash to a wide audience of future players, volunteers and fans.”
