Unanimously it was development of the game at the grass roots level. We know that if this is done right, then other squash success will follow. Not only on the court, but with our referees and coaches who all contribute and add value to the game. Critical to achieving our goals is the BOP Squash Board and our management staff. We have been successful at ensuring we have a balanced board with representations from different regional areas and a diversified range of skills. Gavin Hudson who has been with me from the outset is vital in giving us fantastic business acumens. Jim O’Grady provides us on so many different levels of experience and knowledge. Kendra Jackson, Toni Connelly and Kelly Cox provide the board with that club-based perspective that keeps everything real and enables us to stay in touch with our stakeholders. I would like to thank these board members for volunteering all their time in order to make the game they love, better for everyone. Marcus Niles is the glue that deals with all the day to day management of the game of squash in the Bay. It is often difficult to keep everyone happy when dealing with sport related issues in what is predominantly a volunteer environment, and often he doesn’t get a “thanks” especially for the work he does in the funding area. Marcus has an amazing relationship with our funding stakeholders which enables us to underwrite all our representative teams which years ago we were unable to do. Marcus has also secured some incredible funding with Kiwi Sport which is going to help assist our clubs grow and develop the game in 2020 and beyond. Our on-court success must be summed up with the triple crown of our Women’s Senior Team. Jo, Alana, Camden, Lauren and especially Cheryl and Danny – this was outstanding. And of course, Glenn Templeton with his NZ Junior title. I think a special mention to the likes of Ben Grindrod, Paul Bedford, Ben Thornton and Aaron Kopittke, who front up in the Men’s senior team and give the Bay what I call “the culture”. The culture of support, training ethics, on-court excellence and having fun along the way. It is also great to see those young men and women, who I have seen on the court since they started, giving back to the game. A big thanks goes to our District Coach, Robbie Wyatt, who with the support of Sport BOP has secured funding for the next few years for his role in CoachForce. We are the envy of other regions with this support that we get from Sport BOP, which enables Robbie to coach the coaches ensuring that we are constantly nurturing a coaching culture in the BOP. Robbie ensures that the likes of Logan Brewer, Mike Dunston, Lauren Clarke and many other coaches have the support and training so they in turn can develop our players. Well done Robbie, and thanks. My tenure of Chair will be coming to an end and succession is now critical for us. I have always believed that this role is a privilege and has also enabled me to give back to a game that I have always loved. Not just the game, but the people that play it and their families. Vicki Beker Board Chair SQUASH BAY OF PLENTY ANNUAL REPORT 5 MANAGER’S REPORT MARCUS NILES My 7th season at Squash BOP was a pretty good one. I feel the district is still leading the way in many areas, but we can’t be complacent and must keep striving to think of new ways to improve our sport. I was again named WSF Technical Director for the World Junior Champs this year, and I headed off to Kuala Lumpur. Another very valuable experience. Also this year we managed to confirm that we will be hosting the World Men’s Teams event in Tauranga in December 2021. It is a massive event that will provide a huge profile to our sport and district. I am looking forward to our squash community gathering around to make it the best ever, just like we did with the World Juniors in 2017. After a bit of consultation, we made some tweaks to interclub this year. Interclub has been around for a long time and it seems to be the best way to keep regular players engaged. While our tweaks for Spring Interclub certainly offered something different, the traditional model we operate the rest of the year seems to cater to the majority of club players. After consultation with clubs, it was decided that Superchamps this year would be run a lot earlier than normal to try to appeal to the rural market. While we did see an increase from some of the smaller clubs, that was balanced with less from other areas. Time will tell if the earlier date is a better option for most.
