INTRODUCTION OF SPORTSPIN EVENTS

Sportspin Events is an events company created by ex world no.10, Malaysia number 1. 2 times asian champion and Asian Games Gold Medalist, Azlan Iskandar.

Its goals are to help promote squash in Malaysia in all levels and also be part of a major push for the Olympic Bid 2020. Sportspin has single handedly raised 130,00.00 euros to run all its events for 2013

Sportspin is managing AISA (Azlan Iskandar Squash Academy). Founded in 2012, AISA has created strong presence in 3 locations in Malaysia in 2012. They are Kemaman Terrenganu, Negeri Sembilan and Kuching, Sarawak.

Its goals for 2013 is to expand to another 7 locations. Creating jobs for 14 coaches and also creating a total of 40 junior events. Each location will have 4 junior events per year,1 event per quarter. The junior events will compromise of local community tournaments, to state juniors event and also eventually inter AISA tournaments. With our smart partnership with Ashaway and our sponsors Maxis telco and the strong backing of the Ministry of Youth And Sport, National Sports Council, National Sports Institute we are able to make this happen for squash's grassroot development in Malaysia.

The challenge is the education of squash, that it is to be played as a fun sport and not just from an elite aspect.

The 2nd Initiative that Sportspin is taking for 2013 is the first ever National Squash Circuit. Sportspin can boast that it has raised RM 320,000.00 which is a total of 80,000.00 euros of prize money and running costs for 10 circuits around the country. Again with the strong support from the Ministry of Youth Of Sports, sponsors Ashaway, ASB and a few personal key people this initiative is going to continue from 2013-2015.

The objectives of these events are:

• Revitalize squash in states

• To expose the juniors to senior level squash

• To get ex pro's and ex national players back into competition

• Support the local professional squash players and create a sustainable career path

• To create a competetive platform for the transition of the juniors to the seniors then onto the professional squash circuit

• To prevent early retirement as there is a healthy local squash circuit
