REDBASqCuKasSh November 2013 - Issue 15 © 2013 Shark Attack!

he mighty Sharks have just won their 10th National Teams Championship. The team has dominated the junior teams event at the TAustralian Junior Championships for the last decade! This year NR had 6 representatives in the 24 player team. The Sharks won the U13 and U19 events and finished runner up in both the U15 and U17.

As reported last month Ingham’s Brody DiBella was forced to watch his team mates from the top balcony. His foot was placed in a moon boot following his individual match up against team mate Wes Dyer in the 1st round of the 9-16 play off. That placed enormous pressure on Ethan Eyles (SR) and Wes Dyer to play every match in the teams event. Amazingly they won 6 of the 7 clashes and still won the U13 title!

They lost both their matches to the Tassie team in R3 but then NSW did us an almighty favour by winning both matches against Tassie in R4. Our boys then beat NSW by a game to edge past Tassie (who also won 6 clashes) in the final wash up.

Congratulations to Wes for winning the MVP Supershark Award. Photo courtesy of That is a fantastic recognition because the award is voted on by Jim Calvert the entire Sharks team

Our U15 girls team struggled somewhat. NR’s Tia McLennan stepped up and played every match in the U15. In Queensland our U15 girls are simply not as strong as our U13 girls and as a consequence only one U15 girl (Kaitlyn Morris) was picked for the Sharks.

The U15 Boys team was led by Ivan Jensen and they won every clash. Sadly it wasn’t enough to make up for the girls and the combined team had to settle for silver. Most importantly Ivan avenged his loss to Todd Riches (NSW) on the last day.

Sarah Cumming U17 and Tiffany Loss U19 won all their match ups. Congratulations to all the Sharks! MVP Wes Dyer with Sharks Tiff Loss 1 www.northernregionsquash.net/ REDBACKS eMag 2013-11 © 2013 HELLO & WELCOME

63 www.northernregionsquash.net/ REDBACKS eMag 2013-11 © 2013 Court action 4 kids With Kim DiBella hilst most kids were enjoying their first week of the school holidays, a group of dedicated Ingham juniors chose to sweat it out instead at the Ingham Squash Racquets WAssociation's first weekend coaching camp. Under the watchful eye of Level 2 club coach, Darren Barclay, 25 juniors completed two days of development involving a range of techniques and skills unique to squash. Darren was ably assisted by his two apprentice coaches, Alan Butcher and Jason Erba.

With so many levels of ability to cater for Darren put together a wonderful program that suited all the participants who ranged in age from 7 to 16 years.

Over the two days, players were taught racquet skills, phases of play and fitness routines. They completed drill sessions on court and attended classroom sessions that addressed nutrition and match play. A mental skill workshop also proved very popular.

The club's new ball machine was put to good use with players videoed for analysis of their swing. Players then watched their video footage and put into practice what Darren advised. A mini round robin competition was conducted each day.

Kids and adults were fed scrumptious lunches and morning teas daily by court owner, Chris Erba, while the club held an enjoyable social BBQ on Saturday night for parents to meet the coaches. Positive feedback was heard from all participants and parents. The weekend was a major success and plans are underway to hold another camp in March next year.

he Queensland Sharks is the name of the Queensland Junior Squash Team which represents the State at the Australian Junior Team Championships each Tyear. 24 juniors (12 male and 12 female athletes) are selected at the Queensland Junior Championship from results achieved in both the individual and team championships to wear the mighty maroon. When you add the selection trials for the Regions to the mix there is a very fair and exhaustive process to select Queensland's best juniors.

Back in 1999, I was appointed CEO of Q Squash and I quickly recognised junior squash was a very important component of the games development and a terrific mechanism to promote our sport, recognize players and revitalize the interest in our great game.

The Queensland and Australian Junior Championship were well supported but I felt they lacked some very important aspects. They had some antiquated rules and definitely lacked color and excitement. So I set about to change that and the first change I pushed for was for each age group team to consist of 3 players who could each play as rotating members of the team. Sounds simple but back in 1999 one had to get a Doctor's certificate to replace a player with a substitute and then get another Doctor's certificate to allow them back in.

The next initiative was to introduce a theme. Most sporting teams have a cool name which they become known by. For example the Queensland team became the Bulls. So I took the idea to the kids and in 2002 in a motel unit in Dural NSW the team identity was born ... we became the Queensland Sharks!

We then got our first playing strip and from 2004 to 2013 the Sharks have dominated the Australian Junior Team Championships.

I'm not saying for one moment that what was done changed everything but it certainly helped. I also introduced a number of awards to recognize our players. I started by introducing the Austin Adarraga and Kay Barclay Achievement Awards and extended this to include the MVP Supershark Award for both boys and girls. So win or lose we still recognized our best.

After 5 years of being runner up to NSW on my watch, we finally broke through and ended the 11 year reign of NSW. It was a magic time and a fitting reward for the coaches, players (including those who paved the way) and supporters who kept building toward beating NSW. One must appreciate not one person is responsible for developing a team of 24 players. Success is achieved by the culmination of many contributions (big and small).

To simply put yourself in a position to get selected in the first place is a tough assignment. Repeating that year after year is another level of dedication and commitment. Funding the trips to all the destinations can be a monumental exercise and when you have 2 or 3 players in the one family it can be a very costly exercise indeed. Staying fit and healthy can also be a challenge. 75 6 www.northernregionsquash.net/ REDBACKS eMag 2013-11 © 2013

Maroon Magic CONTINUED A Decade of Dominance

Keeping it all together is the job for the coaches and support staff. Kids still want to be kids and socialize and function on minimal sleep! They get injuries and at times can be overwhelmed by the task at hand, the pressure of competition and the various expectations (family, team mates, coaches, etc).

The mighty Queensland Sharks are truly that … mighty! They play an individual competition for 4 days before having a one day rest. They then get themselves in team mode and work toward building a great result for themselves and the squash communities of Queensland. Yes, every point counts and every result is important.

Unlike many other sports, where a team effort is the result of say 6 or more players all working together at one time to achieve a result, squash is very different. A team result is only achieved by the culmination of 24 individual results over generally a 4 hour period. Seriously, it requires every player doing their absolute best and yes whilst winning matches is important it does come down to gathering as many points as possible. In other words even if you are going to lose it is important to score as many points as you can to take the pressure off your team mate(s) and give them a better chance of winning.

Players battle for the overall team championship. Along the way they compete for the combined age group title and the individual gender team championships for each age group. So a player can win up to 3 medals for their performance. However, the focus has mainly always been on the overall team title result because it is the one that will send every player home with a medal for their contribution. Players and supporters only remember the overall result and the main focus for Queenslanders has always been “did we beat NSW?”

Well the answer is yes. The 2013 team did it again for the 10th time in succession. That is a remarkable achievement and regardless of any future results it is a terrific record and one every Queenslander can be proud of.

In next month's edition we will look back at the Decade of Dominance and outline the various NR players and coaches who have contributed to this wonderful slice of history.

Format S a FAST Fitness The squash m T entertainment p Shots N i E o FUN Squash package of n V s Health Today Energy Action Skill E How to Really Make Squash Attractive and Popular

The key: Sports that are good on TV get popular and get into the Olympics.

Tennis is good sport for TV and good for sponsors because of:

l the glamorous and fashionable participants, l audience appreciation of the spectacular shots and athleticism, l the suspense of the deuce games, tie-breaker sets and close matches, l suspense and less predictability of upsets to top seeds in big tournaments, l less predictable due to the better balance between skills/shots vs athleticism/fitness in determining the outcome of matches, l time gaps between points and games so commentators can show replays and comment/teach/promote.

With all the above, audiences are happy to watch long matches and long rallies because of the possibility of a winner being played at any time ... they are not bored. Super slow motion replays hugely improves motorbike racing, and would hugely improve squash viewing if there was time to show it and commentate between rallies and games, so 'faster than the eye can see' nick shots and deception can be appreciated and commentators can comment/teach/promote the game to its full potential.

There would need to be a system that signals players to pause to allow time for a replay. This would enable players to stay fresh longer to perform well, fight back and be more athletic/acrobatic for more of each match.

The Point a Rally System (PARS) deters shot making and penalises mistakes too much; so is less entertaining; less chance for the underdog to use shots or tactics to cause an upset; makes games too short and “runs of points” too easy to come by which in turn reduces suspense; makes most matches too short to be epic events and what big expensive events go for well under an hour? The current format means if someone has an epic match, they are significantly physically compromised for their following match.

All of these, and no time for replays, engaging/educating/motivating the audience, or big enough screens positioned for all to see at the venue, are shortfalls we can address. 11 10 www.northernregionsquash.net/ REDBACKS eMag 2013-11 © 2013

r package l l

s TV $ O suspense SPONSORS O of the future! Squash can become a great TV sport, attract sponsorship and become popular again if

l the men be more image conscious, entertaining and maximise their media/communication skills like most men tennis players,

l the women be more glamorous, entertaining, image conscious, wear more “interesting to women and girls” outfits/fashion, and maximise their media skills (and administrators be image conscious and use flattering/glamorous photos on squashmatrix). Sponsors are very image conscious.

l ditch PARS and have matches with handouts to 9, or similar, for more suspense filled games, shot making, risk taking. (The problem was not handouts, it was the inability for winners to be hit against Geoff Hunt, so it became too dominated by fitness and boredom, instead of shots, suspense and excitement). The better answer is to introduce initiatives that cause players and matches to be more interesting, exciting, entertaining. For successful examples, look at how different Rugby League and 20/20 Cricket have become, by adjusting their image, interaction/engagement/explanation/promotion with the audience, rules and boundaries.

l make shots as critical to winning as fitness and retrieving: short time gaps for replays will not only enlighten, engage and educate the audience, it will allow players to recover and fight again; handouts allow nick or winner attempts without risk of losing a point; if necessary have a small gap between the floor and wall to increase the ability to hit a nick so it is worthwhile for a player to make more attempts at spectacular shots and nicks.

l the supreme athleticism of squash can only be fully appreciated at a certain speed of slow motion (not super slow motion); it is too quick at normal speed; normal speed, video-ed from the front wall, often makes it look like they are not doing much work at all.

l some of the replays could be super slow motion for the balls smashing into the nick, strings putting extra spin, or player changing racquet angle, etc, for deception; some could be replays at the right motion speed to highlight the supreme athleticism.

l large screens at the venue would afford paying spectators at the live venue the same engagement and exhilaration, and give people in the less perfect seats a much better experience.

I think the above would make the sport far more attractive to youngsters, media, sponsors and amplify the impact of the suggestions made in the Opinion article published last month. Combine our ideas, convince someone/s to make it happen, and we'll be in the Olympics before we know it! 11 www.northernregionsquash.net/ REDBACKS eMag 2013-11 © 2013 Red Star Award October 2013

he Red Star Award is designed to recognise the most outstanding performance by a NR player at a major Tchampionship each month. Wes Dyer is this month’s Red Star Award winner. The talented youngster from Mackay picked up the MVP (Most Valuable Player) Supershark Award as judged by his team mates at the recent Australian Junior Team Championships in Canberra. NORTHERN REGION WWithes had Keith to Wstandone upand and Gary be Bradleycounted when Brody DiBella was forced to sit on the sidelines in a moon boot ironically incurred in RED STAR his 5 game battle with Wes in the individual championship. SQUASH AWARDS

Queensland’s #1 Ethan Eyles combined with Wes for each encounter. They won 6 clashes (equal with Tasmania) but other results saw the two youngsters win the U13 Boys, contribute to the U13 Combined win and the magnificent overall team win.

Their combined win over arch rivals NSW on the last day was the most important one. Despite losing the match Wes secured a very important game to take the pressure off Eyles. This meant Eyles had to win in 3 but didn’t have the added pressure of needing to restrict points overall. Eyles won in 3 and together with Wes won the Boys U13 Team title.

Wes had a terrific QJC and then followed that up with a solid performance in the AJC Individual before helping the Queensland Sharks to an important victory on debut. Congratulations Wes
