Our juniors regularly represent Luxembourg at international junior tournaments held throughout Europe and achieve impressive results. We now need your support !

All money raised for the tournament in excess of expenditure will be dedicated to the FSL junior squash programme over the next 12 months. For a donation of €50 or more (COMITE D’HONNEUR), supporters will be :

            . invited to a pre-tournament cocktail on 19th March;

            . included in a draw for some great prizes for those present at the cocktail

            . ensured a reserved seat at the tournament finals

. recognised by a citation on the tournament web-site (www.ljopen.lu) and in the tournament programme

Alternatively, by donating a lower amount, you can be part of the « COMITE SPORTIF ». For this direct support for junior squash in Luxembourg members of the « COMITE SPORTIF »  will be recognised by a citation on the tournament web-site and in the tournament programme.
