* deceased 2 Message from the President and CEO In our 2019 report we commented that the previous twelve months had been challenging, not knowing then of course that 2020 would become the most challenging and dire year for Australia in the last half century. The advent of COVID-19 has affected everyone on the planet, let alone us here in South Australia, and is still at the forefront of our minds as we assemble the 2020 Annual Report.

Only a few weeks into our Autumn pennant, the Government’s response to the pandemic closed all sport and hospitality venues overnight on March 23rd. This was devastating for many South Australian businesses and sporting organisations as it was for Squash SA.

However, when faced with a crisis, the best response is to plan to overcome the issues presented and this is exactly what our Board and Staff did at the time and are still doing as we gradually come out of the severest of the restrictions.

The Board and staff quickly put in place measures aimed at sustaining Squash SA through the pandemic and to ensure we were well placed to capitalise once the initial restrictions were relaxed. As we all know we were able to resume our pennant competitions in early August with almost the same number of participants and by September we were able to return our hospitality business to a profitable level. During this time, we adjusted our budget to allow for the economic effect of the virus and to plan for a future that has a minimal impact on the way we want to support Squash and Racquetball in South Australia. The objective has been to plan our way out of the restrictions so we can provide better support for our sports than we did prior to March 23rd.

It is our belief that our objective to get as many people, of all ages, actively involved in Squash and Racquetball, is more important now than ever before. It is clear that being fit, active, engaged and socially connected can assist with coping with the crisis that COVID-19 has created. Squash and Racquetball are still the healthiest of sports and are sports for life.

We foreshadowed a number of priorities in our 2019 Annual Report which we pursued throughout 2019 and in the early months of 2020 prior to the impact of the restrictions on our operations.

1. We have continued to lobby for more facilities and improvements to our existing facilities and following on from the great result in Port Pirie last year, Port Lincoln has constructed three new Squash Courts with moveable wall technology. Squash SA will be supporting Squash and Racquetball in Port Lincoln by providing coaching and refereeing courses conducted personally by our Development Manager, James Rogers, during 2020. As we identified in 2019, changes in squash facilities from purely stand-alone courts to multi-sports facilities is much more appealing to local councils like Port Lincoln. 2. Prior to the Government restrictions on sport, our Club Development officer program was producing positive results in terms of increasing participation especially with junior athletes. Given the hiatus in activity we have taken the opportunity to review all our programs with the aim to improve our offerings and to ensure we are supporting our clubs and their connection with their communities. 3. One interesting development that has occurred as we look at the pre-COVID and post-COVID periods is that our 24/7 glass court at the Tonsley Innovation Precinct has achieved a significant increase in use since sport resumed in May. It is clear to us that the general public, as well as those already involved in Squash and Racquetball, want to get on court if we can provide facilities and technologies that support their busy lifestyles and are attractive to them in our “new-normal” setting. 4. Following from our recognition as State Organisation of the Year at the 2019 Squash Australia National Awards dinner, we have continued to positively contribute to Squash nationally. We have representation on the National Board via Matt Schmidt (a formal Squash SA Board member), and

3 Message from the President and CEO Sam Abishara, our President, Cindy Flower a Board Director and Geoff Baynes our CEO are all on the Squash Australia Board’s three key working teams. 5. Cindy and another of our Board members, Amy Challans, are also integral to the review of the Squash Australia constitution, which will be communicated to all the State and Territories inthe coming months. It’s important to Squash in South Australia that we should seek to positively influence the direction of such an important document. 6. Post the Squash Australia AGM in 2019 the Squash SA Board has aimed to have a significant influence in shaping the conversation at the national level particularly focusing on improving our sports culture and achieving best practice in communication and decision making. The Board’s view is that we need a strong, well governed peak organisation to ensure we have the best chance of progressing our sports nationally. 7. In 2019, Squash SA committed to reviewing our Constitution, Business and Strategic Plans and we intend to progressively communicate our review recommendations to all our members during the 20/21 period, with any changes to our constitution requiring official approval from our members. As part of the process we will be looking at the value of finding a level of consistency with Squash Australia and other state and territory organisations.

Needless to say, it was an enormous challenge to close our Gaming, Bar and Bistro Venue (The Southern) as of March 23rd and then to gradually re-open the venue in a COVID-safe way from early May. It was an expensive exercise to re-start the venue especially in the early days when it was difficult to predict whether opening with restrictions was going to be a profitable exercise. Ultimately, we need to express our gratitude to our hospitality staff who have assisted in getting the venue back to an acceptable trading position and we gratefully acknowledge the assistance the Federal Government’s “JobKeeper” program has had in terms of financially supporting small business during this period.

What this period of uncertainty has done is provide the Board with time to consider what needs to be addressed at the Southern, and in the next few months we will be able to announce some exciting improvements at the venue. We are also grateful that the Darlington/South Road Upgrade project is nearing completion and this hopefully will provide us with the opportunity of embarking on a promotion and marketing programme that will not be interrupted by the construction project. Obviously, the closure of the venue has severely impacted on our revenue but we are pleased to say we have a loyal cohort of patrons who have retuned and supported us as we look to fully resume our operations.

As is the case each year, the volunteers, staff and club personnel have been invaluable in ensuring our pennant competition, tournaments, squash programs, and elite programs have all been able to operate effectively, albeit interrupted for some months, and we thank them sincerely for their work and passion for our sports.

Squash SA are committed to ensuring that we support our sports as well as we can as we emerge from the COVID restrictions and we firmly believe that we will be better and more resilient in 2021. OurBoard directors and staff are experienced, highly skilled and committed to the challenges ahead and we know our members and players are passionate and excited about the future.

Sam Abishara Geoff Baynes SRASA President SRASA CEO 4 24/7 Squash @ Tonsley 24/7 technology is becoming more and more the preferred way to provide the flexibility many busy people need to enjoy playing squash and racquetball. It will be a part of Squash SA’s next strategic plan to help existing venues utilise 24/7 technology, and to possibly build more stand alone 24/7 courts around Adelaide. Below are two graph representations of the level of use at Squash SA’s glass court 24/7 Squash @ Tonsley, based at the Tonsley Innovation District. The graph on the left indicates the number of users against the time of use and has a couple of interesting highlights. Firstly we have had 130 bookings between midnight and 7am, presumably by shift workers and taxi drivers. The graph also indicates that peak usage occurs between 4pm and 6pm. The second graph shows the booking frequency over the period of July 2017 to August 2020. Here the notable points are the gradual increase of usage over this period. There is, of course, the significant dip for the enforced COVID-19 closure, but then the huge uptake post the re-opening of the court to record usage of an average of 12 bookings per day for July/ August 2020. A great result!

Community Interaction Over the past 12 months, Squash SA has worked with numerous organisations to promote squash to the greater community. Below are a number of organisations which support Squash SA in achieving our strategic objective of increasing participation in squash and racquetball. Also as a proud SA sporting organisation, Squash SA decided we needed to support the fundraising efforts for the South Australians who suffered through the devastating bushfires early in 2020. On behalf of our members, we donated to the SA CFS and the RSPCA bushfire appeals. It was great to see other Clubs around the state also held their own fundraising events.

5 The Southern The past twelve months have been a rollercoasters ride for staff and management at The Southern, however there is some light at the end of the tunnel as we move towards 2021.

For much of 2019 the Darlington Upgrade Project, affecting South Road adjacent The Southern, has continued to have an impact on our hospitality venue. Even though the underpass was nearly completed, all work on the movement of traffic through and around the underpass has had an adverse effect onthe business.

The decision by the Squash SA Board to upgrade the venue has been delayed by the continued interference associated with the project, as the work on the road and the associated infrastructure continue to regularly limit access to the venue via the closure of our adjacent side road, Brooklyn Avenue. Additionally, the noise and disruption created by the construction process has been very off-putting to patrons during this period.

In the lead up to last summer we were able to implement a targeted promotions and marketing campaign aimed at new and existing patrons in the suburbs adjacent to the venue. The campaign worked well through to February with increased patronage and the subsequent positive effect on revenue. Unfortunately, in early 2020 it became obvious that the COVID-19 pandemic was likely to result in restrictions on hospitality businesses, and unsurprisingly on March 23, 2020 we were required to close the venue, effectively reducing our income to zero.

The Federal Government’s JobKeeper program meant we were able to retain the majority of our staff during the lockdown, and as we had staff on call, we were able to complete some minor repairs and maintenance at the venue. Reopening has been difficult and more expensive than expected, as a number of our assets needed replacing and we were limited in the number of patrons allowed in the venue for quite a period. However, again because the of JobKeeper program, we have been able to progressively return the business to a profitable position, albeit with a reduced level of turnover.

The significant challenges and interruptions to our business have been disappointing but it has not dampened the Board’s resolve to upgrade the venue in line with the plans articulated in last year’s annual report.

An additional challenge has arisen which is related to the change in the South Australian Gaming Legislation which will see the introduction of note acceptor technology attached to gaming machines. Although this is seen by many in the industry as a positive change, it will have a significant cost implication as we retrofit the changes required to our existing machines. There is also a rise in the cost of new machines with this technology. Further, all venues that have note acceptor technology in at least one machine in their gaming room will also be required to fit facial recognition cameras to their gaming rooms again at a significant expense. These expenses will hopefully be quickly off-set by the expected increase in turnover with this new technology.

With the Board committed to improving the venue, the staff at the Southern are excited about the future and looking forward to tapping into the potential the Southern has to deliver the revenue required to increase our support and promotion of squash and racquetball. We will provide updates via our website on the proposed changes at the Southern, and also post the milestone events as elements of the upgrade are completed.

6 Club Development Officers Network Prior to COVID, 2019/20 saw a rise in Sporting Schools squash bookings, and an increase in Adelaide junior club participation program numbers.

Post COVID, the focus remains on increasing junior numbers - in-school (inflatable squash court at Woodcroft College- R 17 pictured below) and schools coming to courts, inhouse programs and running quality tournaments for clubs.

One of the challenges is getting the message out to the non-squash playing public. Our coaches run quality programs in an effort to increase participation but finding ways to market the sport on a limited marketing budget is difficult.

The Ingle Farm Squash program has seen There are currently 7 clubs with Club Development Officers; some big changes with Grant and Lucas Barossa Valley Vicki Cardwell Norman phasing out. It took 6 months to Christies Beach Jay Molloy find a coach to take over. Ingle Farm Michael Jones Michael Jones from Victoria is the new Mount Barker Clive Naylor CDO for Ingle Farm Squash Club.

Alex Haydon and Remashree Muniandy represented Australia at the World Junior Championships in Malaysia finishing 8th, the highest junior team finish in 14 years

Alex Haydon won the Sports SA 2019 Secondary School Sports Star of the Year award presented in November

8 Coach Education Squash SA endeavours to run at least 1 Club Development Coaching Course in Adelaide each year. We also look for opportunities to support new facilities and clubs in regional areas by offering coaching courses and chances to upskill their members. Luckily we got the timing right this year and managed to sneak in a successful course with 8 candidates in mid March at Somerton Squash Centre. It is always encouraging to see young people, including former Development Squad Members, looking to get accredited to continue to assist other new squash players in developing. South Australian squash coaches were also fortunate enough to have the experience of a Geoff Hunt Coaching Workshop in February at Next Generation. Participants were able to ask the former 8 time British Open and 4 time World Open Champion any tactical and technical questions they liked. The former AIS and Aspire Academy (Qatar Sports School) also talked about techniques he used when playing that helped him get to the top. It was a great experience and amazing to see the 73 year old bouncing around the court like a Premier League player.

The Squash SA Development Manager James Rogers continued his professional development by attending a World Squash Federation Level 3 course on the Gold Coast in December 2019. In attending the course, James will soon be able to present higher level courses around Australia and be one of the 10 highest qualified coaches in Australia.

9 Around the Clubs

Squash at Uni

Late last year saw Flinders Uni Squash Club’s Kiara Song (pictured right) and Adelaide Uni’s Aidan Karayilan run successful 6 week ‘Squash Girls Can’ programs, which saw a group of female students be introduced to squash. This is a Squash Australia program designed to introduce women and girls to squash in a fun and non- judgemental way. Squash Girls Can aims to enable everyday women to make new friends, maintain a healthy fitness level and boost mental health.

Both of these University Squash Clubs are being proactive and working on initiatives to increase squash participation with the students.

Port Lincoln Squash Club Port Lincoln squash players had it tough for quite a few years, needing to travel to Arno Bay or Whyalla for their squash fix.

The Port Lincoln Squash Club recently reactivated, as the Port Lincoln Leisure Centre redevelopment, which includes 3 new squash courts with movable walls, officially opened in December. This has seen a resurgence of the Club and new players to squash.

Unfortunately their first squash pennant for the year had to stop after the first 2 rounds due to COVID, but they are now back with 6 teams of 4 players competing on Tuesday nights - which is fantastic for a Club that has only just got their courts back!

The Club hold practice sessions on Sundays, and are also looking to get some of their members coach accreditation so they can look at implementing junior programs.

We look forward to seeing this enthusiastic Club’s progression into 2021! 10 Player Awards

2019 Squash SA Tournament Champion - Sean Drechsler

After the awards and dinner, guests were regaled with squash stories from Chris Dittmar and fellow squash legend Geoff Hunt (pictured right with former World Champion Vicki Cardwell). Too quickly this came to an end, but the night wasn't over, with dessert and then auctioneer extraordinaire Wayne Keoghan from Anvers Wines (and Next Gen State 3 team) had guests bidding on magnums and gift packs of wine, squash items and Next Generation Health Club memberships. It was a fantastic night, and we look forward to the Foundation’s 2021 event.

11 How did you get introduced to squash? I’d visit Bendigo alternate school holidays to visit my cousin. In 2013, he had just started playing squash and so I got introduced to it. We probably played every day of those holidays and every other one from then on.

How long have you been involved with the Adelaide Uni Squash Club? I was wandering through the sports stalls at O’Week in 2011 and saw the squash club stall. After having three years off for Uni, I was keen to get back into it. The previous President was finishing his studies soon and was keen to offload the club, so I took over as President in 2012 and have been running the show since then and through two venues. First the Norwood Squash Centre and now Rackets and Strings.

What are you doing to increase participation numbers at your Club? Adelaide Uni is a great place to sell our club and sport as it has a never-ending source of people that are open-minded and keen to try something new. From when I took over running the club until now, we have always made it free to come and try our sport, with support from the court owners (Con from Norwood, Matt from Rackets and Strings). We have been able to showcase squash to people that may or may not have ever heard of the sport, and while not everyone comes back, plenty do. We have also attracted a number of State-grade level players, which means we effectively cater to all levels of the sport in SA.

What inspired you to recently complete your coaching accreditation? I have been sharing my knowledge of how to play the sport informally with the club members since not long after I joined the club, but it was running the official ‘Squash Girls Can’ program organised by Squash Australia and the acquisition of a State Government grant that prompted me to finally get accredited. While I am unlikely to take up coaching full-time, I will now be able to do some coaching in my spare time.
