Behind the Scenes
Australian Masters Squash Championships
The Aussie Masters Champs are underway! All results and draws for the Trans-Tasman Test Series, Individual Championships, and Team Championships are available on the official event website here: https://amsc.australianmasterssquash.com.au/2025-home/. You can also watch all the action LIVE via the Squash WA YouTube channel HERE.
Huge thanks to all the incredible volunteers that have helped pull this off, as well as our amazing sponsors City of Stirling, 74 Islands, Elementa Whitsundays, Fremantle Steel, Bailey’s in the Swan Valley and ECG Engineering.
More to come in next month’s SWAN…
Fake Emails
We’ve noticed an increase in fake emails going around. Always check the email address if one looks suspicious. Emails from office staff will always come from ‘@squashwa.asn.au’, and there is no reason for a Board member to be contacting you as all communication from them is sent by the office.
If you’re not sure, don’t reply to the email, and check with the office.
Serena Moving On
After over 3 years at Squash WA, Engagement Officer Serena Richardson will be moving on. Serena has been an integral part of the rejuvenation of squash in WA and we could not have done it without the volume of work she has pumped out, her creative flair, and her ability to help anyone with anything at any time. She has offered to see through the Australian Masters and Country Week events and officially leaves after 30 September.
I am personally super thankful for the long handover, the friendship/relationship we’ve created, and the work we have put out together as a team to move Squash WA forward. The good news is that she will continue to play and be involved in squash, which is a win for the squash community.
We have advertised for an Admin/Engagement person on Seek. If anyone in the community is keen to apply, please jump on Seek or contact me directly.
Code of Conduct
We’ve been working in the background with Squash Australia, Sportwest and Sport Integrity Australia to review our Code of Conduct and Disciplinary policy.
Whilst Squash WA has a fairly low record of poor behaviour, we do see the occasional breach so are keen to ensure we are doing what we can to minimise them.
A document has been drafted to outline the Code of Conduct, Policy guidelines, process (flow chart) and sanctions. This will be shared when ready.
Irrespective of the policy we need to remember that volunteers run our committees and various panels, so any poor behaviour has an adverse effect on them. They are mums, dads, brothers, sisters, etc. just like you – human… so please be kind and respectful to each other.
Happy squashing!!
