Rule of the month

This month we look at one of the simpler rules, but are you aware of what to call as a fault? It seems pretty simple but this rule might surprise you. If you think you can nail that rule, then sit our free online referee exam.


Planning for the Future

Like it or not, strategic planning and culture building are essential parts of good governance and a key responsibility for leaders within a squash club. Both play a critical part in giving long-term direction and a reference point for decision making over time. Your club's plan should be clear about the club's path and prioritise outcomes. Learn more about how you can run effective meetings.


World Junior Championships May Update

A lot has been happening over the past month in the lead-up to the World Junior Championships in Tauranga. The countdown is on, with only 48 days to go until the Opening Ceremony. Check out what has been going on and how you can be involved here.
