The National Squash Week will run from September 29 to October 5.
It gives a chance not only to promote the sport but to help a good cause.
Whiz Kidsz, which provides wheelchairs for disabled youngsters, will benefit from sponsored matches and exhibition clashes across the country with Yorkshire putting its shoulder to the wheel again.
