It derived from a sport played against a front wall called “Rackets”. The pupils found that by including side walls the game provided much more excitement and variation. Harrow School built the first squash court in 1864. The game spread throughout the Commonwealth. Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan became centre's of this new dynamic sport and dominated the first official competitions. The International Squash Rackets Federation (ISRF) was formed in 1967, its name being changed in1992 to the World Squash Federation (WSF) which is now recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the sport. Squash is a genuinely global sport. It is played by approaching 20 million in around 150 countries, embracing all continents. It is a growth sport, having seen worldwide participation expanding substantially in the last ten years. There are now approaching 50,000 courts worldwide. Squash can also boast an integrated competitive structure which runs from club level right up to World Championships. It is organized in 143 countries, all of whom are National Associations, recognised by their National Olympic Committees (NOC). Members have to join one of five Regional Federations creating an integral part of the WSF structure. Actively played as a hobby in more than 185 countries. The first squash courts in Germany were built in Berlin in 1939, but the sport did not take off until the middle of the 70’s. The number of courts grew to more than 4,000, with almost two million people playing the game – the most impressive growth in the history of squash. In 150 years squash has gone from an English school pastime to become one of the most arduous sports in the world. Paderborn in Germany is a squash metropole in itself and is pleased to welcome the some of the best female players in the world to this great event.

Founded in February 1984 at the Belfast Boat Club in Ireland, the originally-named Women's Squash Players' Association (WSPA) boasted 23 members and elected New Zealander Robyn Blackwood as its Chairwoman and Australia's Rae Anderson as Secretary/Treasurer. The first WSPA World Ranking list was topped by New Zealand's Susan Devoy - who went on to achieve an unprecedented 105 months as the women's world number one. The Association later changed its name to the Women's International Squash Players' Association (WISPA) , before being re-launched as the Women's Squash Association (WSA) in 2012. Over the past 30 years, the Association has attracted some 5,000 players from all corners of the globe who have competed in more than 1,200 events on the international Tour. 5 Welcome to the first WSA World Ranking Tournament in Paderborn! On behalf of the Paderborn Squash Club I would like to welcome all players and officials to the first ladies squash world ranking tournament to be held from 4th - 7th of June 2014 in Paderborn. Paderborn, being in the heart of Europe certainly gives many young ladies the chance to gain valuable world ranking points without having to travel great distances. Our aim of boosting the ladies game in Europe has met with an amazing result. This ranking tournament will bring together players from all over the world who are not currently in the top 40 in the world ranking, thus giving the promising and ambitious players tighter competition. Females from no less than thirteen countries will fight for the Paderborn Open Title. So four days of exciting world class squash are guaranteed. After the resounding success of hosting the 23rd World Men's Squash Team Championship you have been very quick to respond to what promises to be an unforgettable event. We hope that the participants will take the opportunity to make new friends and enjoy the generous facilities at the Ahorn-Sportpark. With a little time between the matches we also trust that you will also find the shops and sights of Paderborn very interesting too. We are sure that we provide a basis for a great tournament and now it’s your turn to confirm this with emotional and exciting matches! Good Luck to all! Yours sincerely, N.Farthing Norman Farthing Tournament Director 6 Paderborn Open 2014 - The Event The Paderborn Open 2014 is the first women's world ranking tournament to be held in Paderborn, Germany. Always an exciting and excellent event for the ladies it is however usually held in far off destinations. It is of great advantage to be able to offer many young European female competitors an event with strong "local" competition, less travel, held in a beautiful City in a truly amazing sporting facility that many will never have experienced. before. We consider ourselves to be very fortunate to have the honour to host this high caliber ladies squash event. After the World Junior Individual and Team Event in 1990 the European Club Championships 2005 and the World Men's Team Championship 2011, this Event is going to be the next world class tournament in the Ahorn-Sportpark the home of Paderborner Squash Club. In this event twelve world class players will take their place in the main draw. Sixteen promising and ambitious contestants from 13 different nations will battle for the 4 remaining slots available in the main round. The registration for both draws was completed before the closing date and the waiting list is still growing. In the aftermath of the World Men's Team Event in August 2011 the interest for a ladies tournament has been enormous. Hopefully we will be able to field a bigger Challenger very soon. 7 8 OVERVIEW PROGRAM - PROGRAMMÜBERSICHT Day /Tag Time/ Uhrzeit Programme/ Programmübersicht Wednesday/ From 09:00 Hrs Registration and Training for the qualifying players Mittwoch 04.06.2014 11:45 - 15:00 Hrs 1st round of qualifying starts Afternoon City exploration tour - registration necessary 17:45 - 21:00 Hrs Final matches for the qualifiers From 20:30 Hrs Welcome and presentation of the qualifying winners with Sponsor Thursday / 09:00 – 18:00 Hrs Training courts available Donnerstag 13:30 - 14:00 Hrs Photo time on centre court 05.06.2014 14:30 Hrs - 21:00 Hrs Main draw - 1st round with 8 matches Friday / 09:00 – 17:30 Hrs Training courts available Freitag 06.06.2014 11:00 - 14:00 Hrs 4 x quarter final matches 18:30 Hrs 1st semi final 20:00 Hrs 2nd semi final Saturday /

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.

  • 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.
