9 HISTORY
10 A BIT OF HISTORY
WORLD SQUASH HISTORY
For over 1000 years, man has invented and enjoyed a variety of games played by hitting a ball with either a closed fist – as in “fives” or “bunch of fingers” – or with some form of bat or . Around the year 1148 the French played “le paume”, meaning “the palm of the hand”, which developed into Jeu de Paume, Real Tennis, Royal Tennis or, if you play the sport, simply “Tennis”.
At some time in the early 19th century this obsession with s and balls spawned another variety of the sport in the unlikely birthplace of the Fleet Prison in London. The prisoners in “The Fleet”, mainly debtors, took their exercise by hitting a ball against walls, of which there were many, with s and so started the game of “s”. s progressed, by some strange route, to Harrow and other select English schools about 1820 and it was from this source that our own sport of Squash, or Squash s, developed.
Squash was invented in Harrow School around 1830, when the pupils discovered that a punctured s ball, which “squashed” on impact with the wall, produced a game with a greater variety of shots and required much more effort on the part of the players, who could not simply wait for the ball to bounce back to them, as with s. The variant proved popular and in 1864 the first four squash courts were constructed at the school and Squash was officially founded as a sport in its own right.
In the early days, International Squash was controlled by the Squash Rackets Association of England, and the United States Squash Rackets Association. In 1966 it was agreed to form the International Squash Rackets Federation and later in 1985 amalgamated with the Women’s International Squash Federation.
In 1992 the name of the Federation was changed to the World Squash Federation (WSF), finally recognising that the sport had been universally referred to simply as “Squash”, rather than “Squash Rackets”, for most of its existence.
Squash is now played in 185 countries, on 50,000 courts, and the WSF has 147 squash playing National Associations in membership. The WSF is responsible for running and promoting World Championships for Men, Women, Junior Men, Junior Women and Master age groups in both individuals and doubles squash.
Squash was voted the World’s healthiest sport by the Forbes Magazine.
As well as the traditional indoor squash courts, squash is played in a variety of stunning locations around the world utilising transportable “all glass” courts.
11 A BIT OF HISTORY
NEW ZEALAND SQUASH HISTORY
The earliest recorded reference to Squash in New Zealand was on the 23rd of November 1919 (Herbert N Watson – Palmerston North) however it wasn’t until 18 May 1939 that the New Zealand Squash Rackets Association was incorporated to develop the game that we love today.
Squash has progressed in New Zealand from a small amateur body with very few club courts to now become one of our countries leading sports, a founding member of the World Squash Federation and a leader on the world squash ‘stage’.
Throughout history there have been numerous people who have had a profound impact on the sport but few have captured the imagination of New Zealander’s as the deeds of Dame Susan Devoy. Susan unquestionably stamped her name on New Zealand and World history as one of the greatest personalities to emerge from our sport’s proud history - she has become, arguably, New Zealand’s greatest sportswoman of the century.
Dame Susan Devoy is the current president of the Devoy Squash & Fitness Centre in Tauranga, one of the Clubs co-hosting the World Junior Squash Championships 2017. Dame Susan Devoy
The legendary Ross Norman carved his name in history as the men’s equivalent. His feats, determination and grit are also permanently etched into New Zealand’s sporting history.
We have been very fortunate since that time to have had several world class players including Carol Owens, Leilani Joyce, Shelley Kitchen, Joelle King, Paul Coll.
So what is it about Squash that makes it a sport that is undeniably fun... simply the sport appeals to the competitive ‘kiwi nature’, it’s easy to play and fits naturally into our healthy and busy lifestyles. This appeal and growth has seen the development of 200 affiliated clubs (plus many commercial centres offering squash) that cater for 90,000 people a year as they succumb to the urge to ‘have a go’.
Squash clubs have always had a strong family orientation and that remains a key foundation of the sport - attracting and involving young players generates the legacy that will ensure our sport remains strong in future. Subsequently youth and school squash activities have became an integral part of the Club, District and National focus.
These attributes along with the spread of facilities around the country ensures that the sport is literally around every corner, of every community and accessible to people from Kaitaia to the Stewart Island. Ross Norman

26 WHAT TIME IS IT?
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY WE HAVE DIFFERENT TIME ZONES? Earth spins on an imaginary pole called its axis. Every 24 hours, the Earth makes a complete rotation — or one full turn on its axis. Each full turn is a day. Imagine shining a flashlight at a globe. Only part of the globe would receive light, while the opposite side of the globe would be dark. As Earth rotates, different parts of Earth receive sunlight or darkness, giving us day and night. As your location on Earth rotates into sunlight, you see the sunrise. When your location rotates out of sunlight, you see the sunset. If we had one single time zone for Earth, noon would be the middle of the day in some places, but it would be morning, evening and the middle of the night in others. Since different parts of Earth enter and exit daylight at different times, we need different time zones. Having different time zones means that no matter where you live on the planet, your noon is the middle of the day when the sun is highest, while midnight is the middle of the night.

52 PUNCTUATION
WHAT IS PUNCTUATION? Punctuation is needed to assist the reader to understand the expression of written words.
Capitals – start new sentences and identify proper nouns Full stops (.) – stop signs at the end of sentences. They also show us, in certain words, that the word has to be shortened e.g. Dr. for Doctor Question marks (?) – used instead of fullstops when a question has been asked. Exclamation marks (!) – used at the end of sentences to express an emphasis. Commas (,) – indicate a brief pause, or separate different sections of longer sentences. Inverted commas (“”) – used to show words that are directly spoken
411 Punctuate the following sentences
1. What time is it asked the player
2. His friend asked where is your brothers game this weekend
3. My friend exclaimed what a great game
4. He has gone to the squash match said his sister in a quiet voice
5. The child suddenly shouted my ball

The 2017 World Squash Federation event, which will also feature the Men’s & ______Women’s World Junior Individual Championships, will take place at Devoy Squash & Fitness Centre in Tauranga, the ______fifth largest city in New Zealand, from 19-28 July. ______“It is with great pleasure that Squash New Zealand will once again host another major international squash event ______in the city of Tauranga,” said Squash NZ CEO Jim O’Grady. ______“Attracting the very best athletes from around the world, the World Junior Championships will create huge ______opportunities to market and promote Tauranga to a worldwide audience and at the same time boost the ______profile of squash in New Zealand and the Oceania region.” ______Two former world champions and NZ squash legends have a strong affiliation with Tauranga: Dame Susan Devoy, the ______former world number one and four-time world champion, said: “As a resident of Tauranga for many years now, I am ______delighted that Tauranga has been granted the rights to host this event.

______66 HEALTH & WELLBEING
KIWI-ANA
67 EXERCISE & FITNESS
WHAT HAPPENS DURING EXERCISE? Playing with friends, going on outings to a park, beach or fun station all give us plenty of exercise. Our body lets us know when it has worked hard. Do you recognize any of these symptoms? SWEATING FEELING THIRSTY FEELING TIRED ACHING MUSCLES
When we put effort into exercise, changes occur within the body which improve fitness. During aerobic exercise, the lungs take in more air and so more oxygen passes into the blood. The heart beats faster, pumping more blood around the body so the muscles can work harder and become stronger. Sweating is the body’s way of cooling down from the heat produced during exercise. We should drink plenty of water during exercise to make up for what we lose when we sweat. Feeling thirsty is the body’s way of telling us it needs more water. After exercise, we may feel tired and have aching muscles. This is because the body has been asked to work hard. The body likes hard work because it increases its fitness but it also needs plenty of rest so that it can repair and grow. Rest is a very important part of exercise!
Use the information in the text to complete the 571 crossword
ACROSS 2. How you feel when the body needs water. 4. From each ______, oxygen passes into the blood. 6. You need this after squash exercise. 9. You do this to keep active. 1. The body does this while you rest. 12. The muscle which pumps blood around the body.

What factors affect a healthy lifestyle? Read 581 the information below, highlighting any keywords or phrases in each paragraph
There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy lifestyle.
People’s lives today are very busy. Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure commitments as well as school expectations. They need time to socialize with their friends and be involved in family activities.
This “busy”ness also adds another factor: the need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly.
Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology. Computers, DVDs, CDs, television, videos, playstations and Xboxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a more sedentary lifestyle.
The media provide entertainment and information. Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to ‘grab’ a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard their audience with ‘perfect’ body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to go and the best things to do.
Cultural background may influence lifestyle. Girls from a number of different cultures may be discouraged from participating in active pursuits. Religious beliefs may prohibit children from participating in some activities which could encourage a healthier lifestyle.
Environments vary. We may be exposed to pollution, such as cigarette smoke. This can be detrimental to people who suffer from allergies, asthma or other breathing difficulties. Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy lifestyle.
It is important for everyone to be accepted and cared about by family and friends. Both of these groups can influence people – positively or negatively. Negative feelings can lead people to adopt an unhealthy lifestyle.
A number of other factors also have an influence. These include economic factors within families which may prevent them from being able to afford to participate in certain healthy activities. There may also be a lack of affordable facilities to allow people to participate in active pursuits.
Perhaps the most important factor influencing healthy lifestyles is motivation, or the desire to be healthy. Any person who wants to be healthy will find a way to be healthy – if he/she is motivated enough!
Lifestyle Challenge: Think about your lifestyle and 591 the factors that make it the way it is. What factors are within your power to change? 69 A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Using the keywords or phrases you highlighted on the previous page, list 8 factors that may influence a 601 person’s ability to have a healthy lifestyle

70 UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE
What are the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle? Read the text below and highlight any key words or phrases. 621 Underline any unknown words and find the meanings of these in the dictionary
Did you know that a gym recently opened overseas – just for kids? Not a good idea you think? No-one will go! Wrong! Five hundred children enrolled in the first week!
Today, obesity in children is increasing at an alarming rate. Children are unhealthier today than they have ever been. Worldwide, less healthy diets and less active lifestyles have caused childhood obesity levels to climb dramatically.
An unhealthy lifestyle can cause many problems now as well as later in life.
Health experts main concern is that overweight children will develop health problems such as heart disease, cancer and Type 2 diabetes later. Excess fatty deposits can prevent the heart from pumping blood effectively around the body, leading to high blood pressure and the possibility of stroke and heart attack.
More and more children are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, which affects the body’s ability to use sugar effectively and can lead to kidney disease, blindness and foot or leg amputation. There is no cure for Type 2 diabetes but it may be improved or controlled by a healthy diet and adequate exercise.
The ability of the body to fight various types of disease is decreased if it is not in good condition. When the correct fuel is put into a car, it runs well. If the wrong fuel is used, it may cough and splutter and not work properly. The same applies to our bodies. If we feed them the correct fuel and keep them tuned with exercise, they will work well and do what we want them to. We will have the energy to do the things that we need to.
Being overweight puts extra pressure on joints such as the knees, because of the extra weight they have to carry. This can make it difficult to move around, which in turn makes it more difficult to exercise and further adds to the problem.
People with an existing health problem such as asthma need to stay fi t and well in order to not aggravate the condition. Often, having this type of problem can force people to be more active. There are many well-known swimmers who began to exercise in the pool to build up their lung capacity to alleviate health problems such as asthma.
Weight-bearing exercise, such as lifting light weights, is known to have a positive effect in strengthening bones. Even senior citizens have found that after commencing weight-bearing exercise, the strength of their bones has increased and they are less likely to break as a result of osteoporosis.
Lifestyle Challenge: For 20 minutes each day 63 exercise hard enough to sweat and feel thirsty. 1 Don’t forget to drink water to rehydrate your body 71 UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE

WE THOUGHT YOU’D LIKE TO KNOW … There are around 300 squash facilities in New Zealand (including 16 affiliated clubs in the Bay of Plenty) with thousands of passionate people delivering a wide-range of high quality squash programmes and events all year round. The Clubs cater for all age groups and all abilities, whether you’re a beginner and new to the sport, or a more experienced player. Clubs are great for those looking to meet new people, get some coaching or take part in the range of squash activities. Why not join the other 90,000 Kiwis playing squash?
Teachers may wish to contact their local squash club to arrange a class/school visit for your children. Any of the clubs around the Bay of Plenty district would be delighted for your children to have a go on their courts. Generally, most clubs have s and balls for children to use. They will also advise when the Junior Club days are, and supply all information required should children wish to join the club.
