The WSF Conference, which preceded the AGM, facilitated informal discussions and featured presentations to update the delegates on key initiatives - including the World Squash Officiating, a joint enterprise between the WSF and Professional Squash Association (PSA) to develop an online platform that will provide National Federations with the tools to develop refereeing in their country. The new initiative is scheduled to go live before the end of the year. Additionally James Sandwith, from BEBRAND, presented the findings of a strategic review commissioned by WSF, with the report now available for all member nations to appraise. The 49th Annual General Meeting, attended by representatives of 24 National Federations, saw delegates agree an amendment to the Articles of Association to reduce the risk of inappropriate leadership behavior and to ensure that delegates in attendance at an AGM have a formal connection with their National Federations. There were no changes to the standard Rules of Squash. However, the Rules of Squash 57 were updated, adding an extra ball rebound resilience at 33 degrees C that will help to ensure that the differential between blue and black balls - and their range of bounce - will be more uniform across the brands that are WSF-approved. The WSF Championship Regulations were updated with respect to player eligibility, the use of random draws and a new timeline and procedure for seeding juniors.

  • Squash Magazine Announces 2Nd Annual Top 50
    OCTOBER 2015 / www.squashmagazine.com FEATURES N LOCKER ROOMS AND GALLERIES, DURING VAN RIDES AND POST-GAME CHATS, people talk about who does what in the game, about which celebrity is rumored to play, about which coach or player is more impact- ful on the game. For the second year in a row, Squash Magazine has finally put it down on paper. IIt wasn’t scientific. We had no algorithm. Caprice, whimsy and an eagle-eyed glance at the state of squash in America in 2015 provided the basis. We judged it, in order of importance, by in- triguing and then interesting and then finally influential. Like last year, we know you’ll have suggestions of people we missed and people we should have left out and comments on the rankings. Send them to: [email protected]. —THE EDITORS AMANDA SOBHY College was a good move for this Long Island native. She jumped from world No. 21 when she entered Harvard in 2011 to world No. 10 when she exited. The competition might not have been hard enough—she went 64-0, winning 192 games and losing just two—but the four years of college matured and broadened the anthropology major, giving her a stronger foundation to build a professional career. She is still based in Boston, still training with MIT coach and former world No. 1 Thierry Lincou. Already, she’s the best in this hemisphere: at the Pan-Am Games in Toronto, she grabbed three gold medals, the best individual performance since squash joined the Games in 1995.

  • Is England's Golden Age Nearly Over?
    FEATURE Is England’s golden age nearly over? Richard Eaton investigates whether England will be able to continue their position as one of squash’s superpowers when the current crop of world-class players retire Massaro is 29, Alison Waters 29 and Jenny Duncalf 30. Age affects people differently, so it would be silly to downplay any of them. But Matthew's words reverberate. They won't be here for ever. Moreover, Emily Whitlock, aged 19 and just outside the world's top 20, looks like the only prospect good enough to reach the top. Why, with so much Lottery funding, do England not have many potential replacements? Egypt have. Other questions are asked about England's system. Is it flexible enough to accommodate outsiders? Has it adversely affected the coaching market? Does it put enough resources into talent identification? Criticism can be helpful, but it can also be a hindrance to a governing body trying to cope with a changing world. They need to stay clear about their goals and methods, and maintain faith through setbacks. Maintaining morale thus becomes crucial. England Squash and Racketball (ESR) are operating amidst fewer clubs, fewer participants, fewer coaches and significantly fewer talented young players, particularly women, than 20 years ago. This is not easy. Nevertheless, they still have the world's best system,according to Britain's Nick Matthew first male world champion, Peter Nicol. “It was brilliant,” he said. He even abandoned his Scottish squash-playing loyalties to join it. Without that, he could not have extended his reign as world no.1 to a remarkable 60 months.

    IInnssttaanntt UUppddaattee ISSUE 44 MAY/JUNE 2013 To: ALL WSF MEMBER NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Vice-Presidents, WSF Committee Members, WSA, PSA, Accredited Companies ST PETERSBURG AWAITS May 29 is a critical date for squash. Last December we presented our case to the IOC’s Programme Commission and this day in May we shall do so to the IOC Executive Board in St Petersburg, Russia, along with the other shortlisted sports for the place on the programme of the 2020 Olympic Games. The presentation group will be led by WSF President Ramachandran and features our two world champions Nicol David and Ramy Ashour, whose passion and charisma are sure to impress the IOC President Jacques Rogge and his fourteen IOC Board colleagues. The bid film will be shown – it features the two players and has already been viewed nearly 110,000 times, along with the video giving a snapshot of the 185 countries that play squash (you can see both at http://www.worldsquash.org/ws/?p=10564) – along with a new film, that is being finished featuring innovation, broadcast and presentation. The spoken presentations will be accompanied by over 70 great slides illustrating the points made. What happens next is not confirmed. Originally it was stated that one sport would be recommended for ratification by the full IOC membership but indications now are that a few sports may be put forward for the final vote. That will be made clear on the evening of 29th May and we must hope that we are there for the final decision in Buenos Aires on 8th September.

Jahre seines Bestehens erfolgreich weiter. Dritter Titel in Folge, insgesamt der siebte Titel seit 1999, eine Top 4 Platzierung beim Europapokal der Landesmeister in Göteborg, ein Deutscher Meister durch Simon Rösner bei Herren, erfolgreiche Jugendli- che, beispielsweise mit Cederic Lenz als Mannschafts Junioren Europameister; die Erfolgsbilanz des Pader- borner Squash Club kann sich auch in 2009 wieder sehen lassen. Und das Wichtige ist, dass die Verantwortlichen des PSC in strategischen Konzepten denken und han- deln. Neben der intensiven Jugendarbeit (weiterhin ist jeder dritte PSCer ein Jugendlicher) und Leistungssport im Herrenbereich ist die Internationalisierung weiter ein wichtiges Ziel.
