Revelstoke’s most promising young squash players are getting a real workout this weekend as former English Junior Champion Adam Terheege is in town this weekend to whack a few balls with promising players players like Ryan Howe.
The nine-year-old Ryan has only been playing squash for a couple of years and is already regarded as the No. 8 U11 squash player in BC.  The secret to Ryan’s success?
“I practice a lot,” he said as he waited for an opportunity cross racquets with Terheege at the Bear’s Den Racquet Club on Mackenzie Avenue.
Terheege, who now lives in Penticton, will be playing about 25 sessions with up-and-coming young Revelstoke players this weekend.
“We’re lucky to have Adam come and play with us,” said the club’s Kevin Dorrius. “He was the English Junior Champion and also played on the World Tour. What we’re trying to do is up tour juniors’ skill levels so they can close the competitive gap with junior players in Vancouver.”
