Squash Program
Youth Squash Program What is Squash? According to an article published in Men’s Fitness Magazine: You'll need a racquet, an opponent, a ball, and an enclosed court—most colleges and large gyms have them. Alternate hitting the ball off the front wall until someone loses the point. This happens when you allow the ball to bounce twice, or when you whack it out of bounds—below the 19-inch strip of metal (the "tin") along the bottom of the front wall, or above the red line around the top of the court. First one to 11 points wins the game; best of three or five wins the match. It may sound simple, but Squash is a challenging and rewarding game.

History of the Victorian Amateur/Open Squash Championships
HISTORY OF THE VICTORIAN AMATEUR/OPEN SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPS AUTHOR/RESEARCHER: PAUL VEAR INTRODUCTION Victoria and Australia’s first squash courts were built at the Melbourne Club, located at 36 Collins Street, Melbourne in 1913, when their existing racquets court was divided to create two squash courts. Victoria’s first commercial court was built in the Bjelke Petersen Physical Culture Centre( the base for Gordon Watson) at 360 Lt. Collins St, in1926, and St. Kilda( the base for Betty Meagher and Val Watts), was the first public centre( 3 courts), built in Canterbury Rd, around 1930. As of 2014, the oldest existing court, built in 1935, is at the Sandringham Club, where Geoff Hunt learnt his trade. From its beginnings in Victoria, the game remained predominantly in men’s clubs with one to two courts until the early sixties. In 1934 the Australian Squash Rackets Association (ASRA) was formed, based in Victoria, with its Victorian equivalent, the Squash Rackets Association of Victoria (SRAV), commencing in 1937. On 24th June 1936 the inaugural weekly Men’s interclub pennant competition commenced with teams from six clubs competing. The Women’s equivalent started in 1947 comprising four teams. During 1952 the Australian Women’s Squash Rackets Association (AWSRA), and the Victorian Women’s Squash Rackets Association (VWSRA), were formed. In 1963 the Albert Park Squash Centre opened, becoming the headquarters for the sport and the SRAV; 13 years later under the guiding forces of Sid Myers and Trish Hackett(nee Hunt), the Women’ Association amalgamated with the SRAV to form the Victorian Squash Rackets Association(VSRA), with its inaugural meeting being held in November 1976. -
GEOFF HUNT – a 'Greatest Ever'
GEOFF HUNT – a ‘greatest ever’ Geoffrey Brian (“Geoff”) Hunt was born into a squash family, in Melbourne, Australia, on March 11, 1947. Indeed, an early harbinger of his greatness was when, at the age of 15, he clinched the state of Victoria’s men’s championship by overcoming his closest rival in a very hard-fought five-game final. His rival? His older brother Bill. His father Vic and mother Connie were both fitness aficionados who took up squash when they were in search of a sport that would increase their physical activity. Soon the father had introduced both his son Bill and daughter Patricia to the sport, and they all enjoyed success at it. Vic went on to win several Victorian state and Australian senior veteran’s titles, and Bill achieved the men’s number one ranking in Victoria and was ranked as high as eight in Australia. Patricia, Geoff Hunt’s younger sister, also became the women’s top-ranked player in Victoria, competing in state, regional and national tournaments around Australia. With that family background, it might be said that Hunt was destined to be a very good squash player. But he became one of the greatest ever in the sport, showing an inner drive and grit that became legendary and led to his many on-court successes. While off the court his quiet manner, limelight avoidance and professional manner made him a real role model for the pros following in his wake. His accomplishments are stellar, and include being ranked world #1 from 1975 to 1980. -

A Comparative and Historical Analysis of Elite Sport Programs in Australia and Pakistan
A COMPARATIVE AND HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF ELITE SPORT PROGRAMS IN AUSTRALIA AND PAKISTAN, 1947-2007 by Mohammad Akh tar Nawaz Ganjera A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia December 2007 ii Abstract Despite the fact that a number of academic studies compare the development of sport systems, a formal comparison of the elite sport programs of Pakistan with any other nation has yet to be undertaken. As a response to this gap in the literature, this thesis provides the first detailed comparison of elite sport programs in Australia and Pakistan between 1947 and 2007. In terms of the structure of the thesis, a critical evaluation of relevant sports history literature and other source material is followed by an overview of the historical background, political development, and culture of Australia and Pakistan. A descriptive narrative of different sport policies and programs in both countries is then provided and a number of important issues are subsequently analysed in a more thematic manner. Institutions responsible for the organisation of sport and physical activity in both countries are considered and the distribution of financial resources from the government to elite sporting programs is also investigated. Specific attention is given to programs associated with the Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games. Finally, an agenda for initiatives and research relevant to the future promotion of elite sport, particularly in Pakistan, is recommended. In broad terms, this research adds considerably to knowledge of the sport systems of both countries, and has the potential to enhance understandings of the history and development of government involvement in the delivery of elite sport programs. -

The commander, identified as Abdul Rehman al-Dakhil, is also accused of carrying out attacks in India between 1997 and 2001. The fund-raisers were identified as Hameed-ul-Hassan and Abdul Jabbar, who allegedly worked for Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF), which the US regards as a front for the LeT. Separate announcements by the US state and treasury departments claimed that all three were Pakistani nationals.
