  • Michelle Martin, a High Achiever
    Michelle Martin, a High Achiever At the height of a hot summer evening in Australia, squash legend Michelle Martin puts aside time from her hectic personal life - centred round her family and close friends - to field a stream of questions about the highlights of her stellar squash career. She is unassuming but has certainly earned her place in the squash Hall of Fame, with her titles, including three Women’s World Open titles, six British Open crowns, and an Order of Australia amongst other accolades. Michelle Martin created history when she became the first female squash player to win gold medals at the inaugural squash event in the Commonwealth Games in 1998 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Martin is liberal in her humility, but it is sprinkled with a dry humour that sets the mood for an enlivening conversation. The Martin Family of Squashers…. The Martin family is unique as the only Australian squash playing family to produce three such acclaimed and highly internationally ranked siblings. Michelle’s parents constructed the five court Engadin Squash Centre, in Sydney which was attached to the family’s house. Having a court at home meant that the children had the opportunity to learn the sport, meet fellow squashers and practice at virtually any time of the day or night - and the children took full advantage of this. This centre would serve as the hub of activity for the Martin youngsters….. four boys and two girls, and they and their parents who would spend countless hours on or around the court. The children were not coerced into playing the game and were free to participate in other sporting activities at school.

  • 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.

  • Sport History
    Oxenford Studios (OXS) Squash Sport History Squash Origins and the sport today: The origins of squash come from the game of real tennis, which led to the game of rackets. In the early 18th century, inmates at Fleet Prison in London would smack a ball against one or two walls. As the game expanded, courts were built with a paving-stone floor. The game of fives was also played – the ancient version of handball. The combination of fives and rackets led to the creation of squash. Harrow School outside London is the official birthplace of squash, with the first four courts constructed in 1864. The first squash court in North America appeared at St Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire, in 1884 – in 1904, the earliest national association of squash was formed in Philadelphia. The United States Squash Rackets Association (USSRA) is now known as US Squash. In 1912, the RMS Titanic had a squash court in first class. Today, the sport is governed by the World Squash Federation (WSF). Formed in 1967, it has 149 member federations as of 2016. While recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the sport of squash is not on the Olympic program and failed with a bid to be included at Tokyo 2020. Squash at the Commonwealth Games: Squash is one of 10 core sports at the Commonwealth Games, meaning it has to be included in the program. The other nine are: aquatics (diving and swimming), athletics, badminton, boxing, hockey, lawn bowls, netball, rugby sevens and weightlifting. Squash has been part of the Commonwealth Games competition since Kuala Lumpur 1998.

  • HEATHER Mckay ……
    HEATHER McKAY ……. The Ultimate Record Holder At 17, Heather Blundell was already an ardent sportswoman, playing competitive tennis and hockey. One day, however, she, her best friend and her sister happened by a squash court while vacationing in Sydney. They stopped to watch the match on the court, impressed by the athleticism. As she explained, “We decided to give it a go as we were actively in search of an extracurricular activity to advance our fitness level on the hockey field.” Hockey’s loss, squash’s gain. Heather McKay, née Blundell, would go on to have the most storied career in women’s squash, winning an almost unbelievable sixteen British Open titles in succession, a period of domination in which she remained undefeated. Her induction into the WSF Hall of Fame, among a myriad of squash accolades, came as no surprise to anyone. She has also been recognized with the prestigious Member of the British Empire (Civil) Award and became an Officer in the General Division of the Order of Australia, an honour she received in 2018. Despite her complete dominance in the sport, however, McKay is an unassuming individual with an infectious laugh. She is even-tempered and has a wealth of knowledge that she generously shares. A Sporting Family McKay came from a family of sporting enthusiasts. Both parents played competitive tennis and her father was also a champion rugby league player. Her siblings — all 10 of them! — were accomplished sportsmen and sportswomen, focusing on tennis, golf, rugby and field hockey and everyone in the family supported each other’s sporting endeavours.
