Impressum Herausgeber Paderborner Squash Club Ahornallee 20, 33106 Paderborn Tel.: 05251/1371177 http://www.paderborner-squash-club.de Redaktion Andreas Dirkes, Andreas Preising Mitarbeit Norman Farthing, Karolin Grommisch, Uwe Kern, Ralf Saegert, Matthias Wolff Fotos Marc Köppelmann, PSC, Fotostudio Henke, Neue Westfälische und Westfälisches Volksblatt 3 Vorwort des Paderborner SC Liebe Squashfreunde, mit der Deutschen Mannschaftsmeisterschaft 2009 für die Herren des PSC und vielen anderen Erfolgen ging die Geschichte des PSC im 30. Jahre seines Bestehens erfolgreich weiter. Dritter Titel in Folge, insgesamt der siebte Titel seit 1999, eine Top 4 Platzierung beim Europapokal der Landesmeister in Göteborg, ein Deutscher Meister durch Simon Rösner bei Herren, erfolgreiche Jugendli- che, beispielsweise mit Cederic Lenz als Mannschafts Junioren Europameister; die Erfolgsbilanz des Pader- borner Squash Club kann sich auch in 2009 wieder sehen lassen. Und das Wichtige ist, dass die Verantwortlichen des PSC in strategischen Konzepten denken und han- deln. Neben der intensiven Jugendarbeit (weiterhin ist jeder dritte PSCer ein Jugendlicher) und Leistungssport im Herrenbereich ist die Internationalisierung weiter ein wichtiges Ziel. Mit der Rolle als Veranstalter wollen die Squasher in Paderborn mittelfristig Akzente setzen, um die Sportart in der Region noch populärer zu machen. Die Chancen um die Ausrichtung der Mannschaftsweltmeisterschaft der Herren im Juni 2011 unter Federführung des Deutschen Squash Verbandes stehen gut, eine endgül- tige Entscheidung fällt noch in diesem Jahr. Sollte diese positiv sein, wird der Paderborner Squash Club alles daran setzen, um Paderborn als Austragungsort mit einer durchdachten und auf Zuschauer ausgerichteten Veranstaltung weltweit zu präsentieren. 32 Nationalmannschaften würden dann über 10 Tage Paderborn besuchen und den Ruf Paderborns als Sportstadt international verbreiten. Der Deutsche Squash Verband und die PSC-Verantwortlichen sind der Meinung, dass die Stadt, der Ahorn-Sportpark sowie das bestehende Hotelangebot ideale Voraussetzungen für die Durchführung solch einer Veranstaltung besitzen. Das Saisonziel der Bundesligamannschaft für 2009/10 ist etwas anders als in den Vorjahren definiert. Der Kader wurde zielgerichtet verjüngt und die Endrunde um die Deutsche Mannschaftsmeisterschaft, nicht die Titelverteidigung, wurde als oberstes Ziel herausgegeben. Die Mannschaft ist insgesamt spielstark, hat mit Simon Rösner den besten Deutschen Squasher derzeit im Team und der Nachwuchs soll die entsprechenden Erfahrungen sammeln, um an vorderster Front im Kampf um die Punkte bestehen zu können. 4 Auch die 2. Mannschaft soll in der 2. Bundesliga Gruppe Nord Spielpraxis für junge Talente geben und den einen oder anderen Spieler an die 1. Mannschaft heran führen. Der tragische Unfalltod des 2. Vorsitzenden Robert Alt hat im August diesen Jahres für viele schwierige Momente im Club gesorgt. Robert war insbesondere im Jugendbereich des Vereins sehr beliebt und hinterlässt eine große Lücke. Dank des Engagements des Jugendausschusses und des neuen Jugendwartes Markus Kessler laufen die Aktivitäten aber auch im Sinne von Robert weiter. Auch in diesem Jahr danken wir allen, die uns durch ihre Mithilfe, das persönliche Engagement und durch finanzielle Unterstützung den Bundesliga Spielbetrieb, die Teilnahme am Europapokal und eine erfolgreiche Jugendarbeit ermöglichen. Die Finanzkrise weltweit hat auch Auswirkungen bis in die Sportvereine gehabt. Viele langjährige Partner sind oder waren nicht mehr in der Lage, dass Engagement in gleicher Höhe weiter zuführen. Es war aber dennoch festzustellen, dass viele Partner und Förderer dem PSC die Treue gehalten haben und den engagierten Squashsport in Paderborn weiter ermöglichen. Unser besonderer Dank gilt wieder der Stiftung Westfalen, der Stadt Paderborn, der Initiative „Pader-born überzeugt“, dem Förderverein Pro Leistungssport, dem Forum Paderborner Spitzensport, den neuen und bisherigen Förderern des PSC, dem neuen Ausrüster Givova Teamsports, aber auch Oliver Sportbekleidung sowie den Freunden des Squashsportes. Der Paderborner Squash Club ist in der Paderborner Sportszene weiterhin ein Aktivposten und wichtiger Bestandteil des Spitzensportes in Paderborn. Den Bundesligaspielen wünschen wir weiterhin eine gute Resonanz und einen fairen Verlauf. Unseren Gäste und den Schiedsrichtern wünschen wir einen an- genehmen Aufenthalt in unserer Paderstadt. Unseren Squashfans sichern wir zahlreiche spannende Begegnungen in unserer Vereinsanlage Ahorn-Squash im Ahorn-Sportpark zu, mit der Unterstützung der Zuschauer heißt es dann wieder „Paderborn überzeugt“ und gute Ergebnisse werden rausspringen. Ihr Andreas Preising 1. Vorsitzender 5 Der Paderborner Squash Club Der Paderborner Squash Club (PSC) ist einer der Traditionsvereine im Bundes- gebiet und seit dreißig Jahren erste Adresse im Squash. Entstanden aus einer Spielgemein-schaft im Jahre 1977 kam es zur offiziellen Vereinsgründung im März 1979. Seit 1984 ist Spielstätte der Paderborner Ahorn-Sportpark, eine multifunk- tionale Sportanlage mit Vorbildcharakter und ca. 400.000 Nutzern pro Jahr. Als Pächter der 10 Court-Anlage im Ahorn Sportpark ist es den PSC-Verantwort- lichen gelungen, über 2 Jahrzehnte hinweg Leistungssquash auf hohem Niveau zu etablieren. Neben der Verbindung von Sport, Schule und Beruf wird beim PSC viel Wert auf die Jugendarbeit gelegt. In der Jugendabteilung bzw. in den Talentförder-/Sichtungsgruppen sind über 50 junge Sportler aktiv. Die vorbildliche Jugendarbeit wurde bereits dreimal mit dem Gewinn des „Grünen Bandes“ der Dresdner Bank und des Deutschen Sportbundes belohnt. Die Wechselwirkung, die der Ahorn-Sportpark und der PSC aufeinander ausüben, ist dabei wichtig für die Entwicklung. Der Sportpark bietet für die Leistungssportler des PSC das optimale Umfeld, während die Squasher den Ahorn-Sportpark in ganz Deutschland bekannt machen. Veranstaltungen wie Jugend–Weltmeisterschaften und der Europapokal der Landesmeister haben das Ihrige dazu getan. Aus der Jugend des PSC sind u. a. so hervorragende Spieler wie Hansi Wiens, Edgar Schneider, Lars Osthoff, Stefan und Simone Leifels hervor gegangen. Die PSC-Jugend-mannschaft hat insgesamt zehnmal den Deutschen Mannschaftstitel gewonnen. Darüber hinaus wurden eine Reihe von Deutschen Einzelmeister- schaften erzielt bzw. verteidigt. In 2003 bis 2009 siegten die Jugendlichen beim Team-Wettbewerb des Junior Cup. Seit vielen Jahren ist Paderborn auch Landesleistungsstützpunkt; zudem enga- giert sich der PSC in der Talentförderung sowie beim Schulsport. Im Herrenbereich ist Paderborn seit Jahren unter den Top Teams der 1. Squash Bundesliga vertreten. Das Team erreichte mit mittlerweile 7 Deutschen Meisterti- teln zwischen 1999 und 2009 den inoffiziellen Titel „Deutscher Rekordmeister“. 7 Titel in 10 Jahren, achtmal ununterbrochen im Finale, zuletzt drei Titel in Folge. Höhepunkte natürlich international die Gewinne des Europapokals der Landes- meister für Clubmannschaften 2003, 2004 mit der Titelverteidigung und dem 6 Hattrick 2005 vor heimischer Kulisse und in der Fortsetzung im September 2007 und 2008 zum 5. Male. 2009 erreichte das Team das Halbfinale beim Turnier in Göteborg/Schweden. Simon Rösner und Lennart Osthoff belegen zudem vor- dere Plätze in der Deutschen Rangliste. Simon Rösner wurde auch 2009 wieder Einzelmeister, zum dritten Male in Folge. Bei den anderen Liga-Mannschaften sowie im Breitensport herrscht ein reger Spiel- und Trainingsbetrieb. Für die Zukunft will man den hohen Standard in Paderborn halten, intensive Jugendarbeit betreiben und die Sportart Squash weiterhin positiv darstellen. Mit dem Europapokal der Landesmeister im September 2005 haben der PSC und seine engagierten Mitglieder bereits einen weiteren Meilenstein als Veranstalter auch international gesetzt. Mit Dänemark und Irland bestehen Club-Freundschaf- ten, die u. a. durch jährlich stattfindende Städteturniere dokumentiert werden. Für 2011 hofft der PSC auf die Ausrichtung der Team-WM im Ahorn-Sportpark. Design. Build. Ship. Service.

    WORLD SQUASH UPDATE Issue 83 November / December 2019 FOR ALL WSF REGIONAL & NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Presidents, WSF Commission Members, Stakeholders, PSA members, SPINs, Media, Accredited Products and Companies CAPE TOWN HOSTS SUCCESSFUL AGM The World Squash Federation Annual General Meeting took place on 6 November in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by Squash South Africa. The WSF Conference, which preceded the AGM, facilitated informal discussions and featured presentations to update the delegates on key initiatives - including the World Squash Officiating, a joint enterprise between the WSF and Professional Squash Association (PSA) to develop an online platform that will provide National Federations with the tools to develop refereeing in their country. The new initiative is scheduled to go live before the end of the year. Additionally James Sandwith, from BEBRAND, presented the findings of a strategic review commissioned by WSF, with the report now available for all member nations to appraise. The 49th Annual General Meeting, attended by representatives of 24 National Federations, saw delegates agree an amendment to the Articles of Association to reduce the risk of inappropriate leadership behavior and to ensure that delegates in attendance at an AGM have a formal connection with their National Federations. There were no changes to the standard Rules of Squash. However, the Rules of Squash 57 were updated, adding an extra ball rebound resilience at 33 degrees C that will help to ensure that the differential between blue and black balls - and their range of bounce - will be more uniform across the brands that are WSF-approved. The WSF Championship Regulations were updated with respect to player eligibility, the use of random draws and a new timeline and procedure for seeding juniors.

To David Palmer and Rachael Grinham ... once again thank you for so many wonderful memories over 20 years at the CG. David Palmer has now won 3 Gold, 2 Silver and 4 Bronze Medals from 6 Games (in actual fact it is 9 medals from 5 Games because he didn’t win a medal at his first Games appearance). I’m proud to say I was in the audience to witness your 9th medal ... GOLD! Rachael Grinham has now won 2G, 2S and 4B from 5 Games. Another fantastic record of achievement. Winning medals at the Commonwealth Games is a wonderful achievement but as 41 year olds ... well that is simply incredible! Both players may have lost a little speed but their shots and tactics are still awesome Congratulations & thank you Refs! Steve Walton put it best “I thought they did a sensational job because the pressure is immense. The amount of information that they have to manage now is quite extreme particularly when you are the main ref in centre court and you have ear pieces, iPads, 2 competitive players and you are seated right amongst the spectators that groan every time a decision goes against their player.

Farag, 28, dropped a game but had no difficulty in van- quishing Coll 11-8, 6-11, 11-9, 11-9 in 61 minutes to lift his 21st PSA title at the Khalifa In- ternational Tennis & Squash Complex. The triumph also saw Far- ag extend his domination over Coll to 13 matches. When I was younger, I used to watch the Qatar Classic and see all the great names of our sport lifting that trophy and I could only imagine standing there one day. To do it twice is an amazing feeling. Al Farag HE Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, President, Qatar Olympic Committee and Nasser Al Khelaifi, President of Qatar Tennis, Squash and Badminton Federation, applaud as Ali Farag lifts the Qatar Classic trophy soon after the prize distribution at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex on Saturday.

  • Is England's Golden Age Nearly Over?
    FEATURE Is England’s golden age nearly over? Richard Eaton investigates whether England will be able to continue their position as one of squash’s superpowers when the current crop of world-class players retire Massaro is 29, Alison Waters 29 and Jenny Duncalf 30. Age affects people differently, so it would be silly to downplay any of them. But Matthew's words reverberate. They won't be here for ever. Moreover, Emily Whitlock, aged 19 and just outside the world's top 20, looks like the only prospect good enough to reach the top. Why, with so much Lottery funding, do England not have many potential replacements? Egypt have. Other questions are asked about England's system. Is it flexible enough to accommodate outsiders? Has it adversely affected the coaching market? Does it put enough resources into talent identification? Criticism can be helpful, but it can also be a hindrance to a governing body trying to cope with a changing world. They need to stay clear about their goals and methods, and maintain faith through setbacks. Maintaining morale thus becomes crucial. England Squash and Racketball (ESR) are operating amidst fewer clubs, fewer participants, fewer coaches and significantly fewer talented young players, particularly women, than 20 years ago. This is not easy. Nevertheless, they still have the world's best system,according to Britain's Nick Matthew first male world champion, Peter Nicol. “It was brilliant,” he said. He even abandoned his Scottish squash-playing loyalties to join it. Without that, he could not have extended his reign as world no.1 to a remarkable 60 months.

    IInnssttaanntt UUppddaattee ISSUE 44 MAY/JUNE 2013 To: ALL WSF MEMBER NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Vice-Presidents, WSF Committee Members, WSA, PSA, Accredited Companies ST PETERSBURG AWAITS May 29 is a critical date for squash. Last December we presented our case to the IOC’s Programme Commission and this day in May we shall do so to the IOC Executive Board in St Petersburg, Russia, along with the other shortlisted sports for the place on the programme of the 2020 Olympic Games. The presentation group will be led by WSF President Ramachandran and features our two world champions Nicol David and Ramy Ashour, whose passion and charisma are sure to impress the IOC President Jacques Rogge and his fourteen IOC Board colleagues. The bid film will be shown – it features the two players and has already been viewed nearly 110,000 times, along with the video giving a snapshot of the 185 countries that play squash (you can see both at http://www.worldsquash.org/ws/?p=10564) – along with a new film, that is being finished featuring innovation, broadcast and presentation. The spoken presentations will be accompanied by over 70 great slides illustrating the points made. What happens next is not confirmed. Originally it was stated that one sport would be recommended for ratification by the full IOC membership but indications now are that a few sports may be put forward for the final vote. That will be made clear on the evening of 29th May and we must hope that we are there for the final decision in Buenos Aires on 8th September.
