BARD Foundation x Markhor Squash Foundation Training Camp

The BARD Foundation, in collaboration with the Markhor Squash Foundation (USA), successfully launched an intensive squash training camp in Lahore, Pakistan — a powerful step towards reviving the country’s legacy in the sport.

Held at the Punjab Squash Complex, this high-impact training program brought together emerging national players and local coaches for an immersive experience led by international squash coach Omar Ahmed AbdelAziz from Egypt.

The camp focused on:

• Skill development for players
• Technical and tactical training
• Coach mentorship and capacity building
• Match strategy and performance assessment

This initiative reflects BARD Foundation’s unwavering commitment to youth development, sports excellence, and community empowerment. It also supports Markhor Squash Foundation’s mission to create a sustainable pipeline of world-class squash talent in Pakistan.

Coach Omar emphasized the importance of consistent training, exposure to international standards, and long-term planning to elevate the level of squash in Pakistan. Players expressed enthusiasm and a renewed sense of direction, calling the camp a transformational experience.

As this collaboration continues to grow, it aims to provide future athletes with the tools, opportunities, and global exposure they need to represent Pakistan proudly on international courts.
