On reflection, 2023 was a positive year for the sport at an elite level, the PSA continue to make big strides forward and the news of Olympic inclusion for 2028 was a welcome boost.
I came into 2024 full of optimism for the future squash, fresh off the back of one of the most pivotal years the sport has experienced in many years! October 16th, 2023 was a momentous day for everyone involved in the game, and perhaps one of the greatest in our history, where it was finally announced that squash would become an Olympic sport.
In addition to that, earlier in 2023, the PSA announced the investment from Mark Walter, a long-time supporter of squash, and owner of Chelsea and the LA Dodgers, among other sporting entities.
A New Dawn for Squash:
It’s official. Squash has made its grand entrance into the Olympic family. The 16th of October is not just another date on the calendar but a pivotal juncture that sees squash not only recognised for its global appeal but also presented with a golden opportunity for resurgence. The bittersweet memories of the IOC meeting in Singapore in 2005, where Olympic inclusion was almost within our grasp, have been consigned to history. Today, we are on the cusp of a new chapter, ready to redefine squash’s narrative on the world stage.
September ushers in a new squash season, and with it comes the desire for players to elevate their game. If you’re looking to take your game to new heights in the 2023/2024 season, the combination of SquashLevels and SquashSkills could be the tools you’re after.. In essence, while SquashLevels gives you a clear picture of where you stand, SquashSkills provides you the toolkit to rise up the ranks.
Let’s delve deeper.
The best learning experience I have ever had was at SquashSkills.
England Squash has teamed up with SquashLevels, the world-leading global squash ratings system, to encourage clubs to adopt digital box leagues and ladders and do away with non-environmentally friendly pen-and-paper solutions in 2023.
Netherlands has been confirmed as the hosts for the 2024 WSF World Masters Squash Championships, with the Frans Otten Stadion in Amsterdam hosting all of the action between August 17-24.
The waiting is over, we’re delighted to announce that we have launched our new website, alongside our Coaching and Training apps, plus a new look for the SquashSkills brand.
This is a review of Club Ladder within the context of The University of Nottingham Squash Program. Although some of the advantages that are discussed in this review are especially important within a university context many of them are relevant to a significant degree to all community squash clubs.
