Coaches Corner - July 2026

The first two sessions as a team training together has been very positive. Unfortunately WA has a shortage of players in certain age groups, in the GU19 we only have one player and we are pretty thin in other age groups. Fortunately, we are blessed with good numbers and talent in our ‘Youth’ group, which is good for the future. We are focused on building a positive team culture which is inclusive, and welcomes the support of the greater team and squash community.

Ref's Rule - July 2026

State 35+ (Masters) Titles

The WA State 35+ (Masters) Championships was held at the State Centre in Belmont on the 17 and 18 July 2026.  This prestigious tournament has been running since 1982, a wonderful 45 years of history to date, with many notable winners. The tournament is unique in that divisions are age-based rather than ability-based, which means you may get to play anyone! This only occurs in Masters and Juniors on an annual basis - so this is a special tournament.

2026 State Junior Titles

Since graduating from juniors the tournament FOMO has been crippling, so when I was approached to direct the State titles this year, I was more than happy! Arguably the most prestigious event on the WA junior calendar and with one of our largest and strongest competitions yet, who wouldn't want a slice?

2026 State Junior Team Announced

Ref's Rule - June 2026

The Rules of Squash deal with the expected behaviour of players but generally do not deal with parents and spectators.

Coaches Corner - May 2026

Juniors! If you want to improve quickly in squash, the first thing to focus on is not your swing - it’s your movement.

No Appointment Necessary - May 2026

An asthma attack can happen to anyone with asthma at any time, especially for those who play high intensity sports like squash.  Do you know what to do if someone starts having an asthma attack in front of you?

Ref's Rule - May 2026

Two of the most important principles for squash are not actually within the body of the rules but in the “Introduction”.
