  • Strategy 2020-2025
    Strategy 2020-2025 Date Version Change Feb 2020 1.0 Initial Public Issue March 2020 1.1 Terminology update in Section 4 December 2020 1.2 Terminology update in Section 4 1 Introduction The 2020-2025 Squash Wales Strategy The staff and board of Squash Wales are pleased to introduce our strategy for the period 2020-2025. The strategy has been developed over approximately 1 year and has included board vision and mission sessions, public consultation as well as a thorough review of the current “state of the nation” of squash and the wider sporting landscape in Wales. The result is a strategy that will lead Squash Wales through a challenging financial period for Welsh sport which will require increased partnership working, collaboration with others and an ever-increasing focus on the health benefits of regular participation in physical activity. Building on previous work The 2020-2025 strategy builds on some work strands that first appeared in the Squash Wales 2014- 2019 strategy, which identified the themes shown below ▪ Maintaining and improving existing standards ▪ Expanding and developing community partnerships ▪ Developing and supporting elite players The 2020-2024 iteration is the first time that a strategy incorporates feedback directly from Squash Wales members, parents, supporters, officials and the welsh sporting public. The 2020-2025 strategy also incorporates some major changes that have occurred within and beyond squash in the intervening period - notably the ministerial review of Sport Wales, the release of a new Sport Wales strategy, a third failure for squash to be included in the Olympics and perhaps most importantly the rapid rise of Welsh senior players on the World stage.

  • Squash Wales – Return to Play Roadmap
    RETURN TO PLAY ROADMAP Return to play: The starting point “The coronavirus will remain a serious risk to us until a vaccine or an effective treatment is available. So, as we start to consider moving out of the rigid but effective control measures that we first put in place, we are clear that this is a process of managing, not eliminating risk. Much as we might want it to, ‘normal’ life will not be possible for many months – possibly years”. Welsh Government - Unlocking Our Society and Economy The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives and our sport drastically. Training and competition venues across the world closed, and our sport’s activities were suspended. With a view to the future, Squash Wales has developed a roadmap for returning to play. These guidelines are intended as recommendations for all members of the Squash community to continue to enjoy and participate in our sport during the current global health emergency, and to return to a shared enjoyment of it in the future. The guidelines are our proposed ‘traffic light’ approach to returning to play with further guidance to complement as we move through the return to play. We are closely monitoring and continuously evaluating the situation in relation to the pandemic. Being aware of the current situation, following Welsh Government guidelines and adjusting our habits accordingly will enable us to continue to practice our sport and gradually return to regular training and com- petition. Squash Wales continues to work in collaboration with other National Governing Bodies and our partners Sport Wales, Welsh Sports Association and Welsh Government to understand how these changes will take effect in our Sport.
