Celebrate World Squash Day This Weekend

Get some friends together, help get a World Record AND get squash into the Olympics! It's as easy as taking part in World Squash Day!

Squash players all over the world are uniting to create the biggest squash match in history, with two teams playing in one global event designed to back the sport's bid for a place in the 2020 Olympic Games.

World Squash Day takes place on Saturday October 20th and the format has a 2020 theme. Clubs are invited to field two teams of 20 players, with rival team members playing one game up to 20 points. The scores from every club will count towards an overall global result between Team Squash and Team 2020.

You can back the bid to get squash into the 2020 Olympics by joining in on World Squash Day this weekend - Saturday 20th October 2012. The organisers say that clubs can do whatever format suits them, as long as there are people playing squash and enjoying themselves.

To date three squash clubs in New Zealand have registered to be part of World Squash Day. Squash NZ would like to congratulate Kaitaia SC, Masterton SC and Marlborough SC for their initiative in supporting this global event.
