World Squash Day 2010 theme: Take Squash to the kids & get new players in!!

The theme for this year's World Squash Day on Saturday 6 November is to encourage clubs and associations all over the globe to increase playing numbers.

So, on November 6th, the challenge for every club in the world is to attract:

20 new junior players, and
10 new adult members

World Squash Day is supported by the World Squash Federation (WSF), and Chief Executive Andrew Shelley says: "This is a wonderful idea to create an explosive worldwide rise in participation levels.

"Countries like Egypt are leading the way when it comes to producing wave after wave of fantastic junior players but the springboard for this is the sheer number of juniors at nearly every club in the country.

"If other nations wish to compete at the highest level then the starting point is to increase junior participation levels - as part of the main thrust to ensure that the lifeblood of our sport, the next generation, keeps expanding of course."

As leading squash players from all over the world arrive to compete in the Commonwealth Games in India, the plan for World Squash Day 2010 is to create a platform to encourage stars of the future.

World Squash Day founder Alan Thatcher, chairman of the Kent SRA in England, added: "Squash has a massive worldwide following with some 20 million players enjoying the game in more than 120 countries.

"Participation levels are increasing in a huge number of countries but here in the UK the game has suffered because of court closures. However, it has been heartening to see that trend being reversed in many regions.

"The single most important thing that we can do for the sport is to bring on a new generation of squash players to safeguard the future of the sport.

"Therefore it is essential that clubs and squash associations all over the globe get behind World Squash Day to produce a significant increase in participation levels."

Last year World Squash Day generated a massive global show of support for squash's Olympic bid.

This year clubs and federations can announce their activities on the event website www.worldsquashday.com

Thatcher added: "The website has a list of ideas for clubs to get involved and organise events to showcase our fantastic sport."

Commonwealth Games 2010 Boasts World-Class Squash Field

Led by nine players from both the men's and women's world top 20 rankings, the cast list for next week's Commonwealth Games Squash championships in Delhi will be world-class - with Malaysia's world number one Nicol David seeded to win the women's singles gold medal and England's Nick Matthew, the world No2, expected to take men's gold.

Players from 27 countries will compete in the two singles events which get underway at the superb new eleven-court Siri Fort Complex - which features an all-glass centre court - on Monday 4 October. Following the Gold and Bronze medal play-offs on Friday 8 October, the three Doubles championships (Men, Women & Mixed) will take place from Saturday 9th to Wednesday 13th October.

New medallists will be certain in the Women's Singles event - with no previous winners in the field, and after Nicol David finished only in fourth place in Melbourne in 2006. It was the 27-year-old from Penang's third successive appearance in the event following her debut in her home country in the sport's first appearance in the Games in 1998.

Nicol David, who celebrated her 50th successive month as world number one this month, is in sparkling form after winning a record-equalling fifth World Open title in Egypt earlier this month.

"After my win at the World Open in Sharm El Sheikh I'm looking forward to bringing that over to Delhi for the Commonwealth Games," said the Malaysian on the eve of her departure for Delhi. "The Games will be a completely different atmosphere and being part of the Malaysian contingent will be a nice boost to do my best out there for the country.

"The Commonwealth Games is always special and I will go all out for it!"

Nick Matthew is also enjoying the best form of his career this year after becoming the first player to win three PSA Super Series championships. But, after becoming England's first world number one for six years in June, the 30-year-old from Sheffield suffered a minor setback when illness forced him to withdraw from the British Grand Prix, the biggest event in Europe this year, in England earlier this month.

"I'm fully fit now and looking forward to being in Delhi," said Matthew as he joined his England team-mates for the flight to India. "I hear that the atmosphere in the England camp has been buzzing and we all can't wait to get out there and get amongst it now.

"On a personal point of view, it will be my second Commonwealth Games - and the first one was among the highlights of my career, so I can't wait to get playing, especially after missing the British Grand Prix.

"Hopefully the enforced rest has done me good," added the gold favourite.

Whilst a new gold medallist is assured in both the men's and women's events, Australia's David Palmer will be hoping to win his third successive medal after clinching Bronze in England in 2002 and Silver on home soil four years ago.

One his country's most successful players of all-time, Palmer celebrated ten complete years in the world's top 10 last month - and earlier this month rediscovered his former form by reaching the semi-finals of the British Grand Prix in Manchester.

Despite losing to Egypt's Ramy Ashour, the reigning world number one and the event's eventual champion, Palmer took positives from his performance: "It's given me encouragement," said the two-time World Open champion. "I haven't been able to play a match like that for the last four or five months.

"The Commonwealth Games is very important to me - and it looks as if I'm back in form. It's better late than never! "So I can go back home and be happy now.

"But it's going to be very tough in Delhi," admitted the 34-year-old fifth seed.

India to host the Squash World Cup 2011

Delhi kids and keen parents could plan to visit Chennai.......!!

"The already strong programme of squash majors has been enlivened
today by the announcement that the SDAT WSF World Cup will take place
in India next year from 812 March.

Spearheaded by the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT),
the biennial event will be held in Chennai in 2011, 2013, and 2015,
with the final rounds next year being played on an all-glass show court
erected at the Express Avenue Mall, the largest shopping complex in
southern India.

Sixteen national teams featuring top players from all over the world
will compete, with two men and one woman being the format. Favourites
to be vying for the title are expected to include Australia, Egypt,
England, France, Malaysia, Netherlands, and hosts India.

Thanks to the relentless efforts of World Squash Federation President
Mr N Ramachandran, the Tamil Nadu Government is contributing a total of
one million dollars for the next five years. In granting this
sponsorship, the TN Government spoke highly of the efficient and
professional manner in which the Tamil Nadu Squash Rackets Association
functions:

We are eagerly looking forward to hosting the worlds best squash
players in Chennai, said a delighted TNSRA Secretary General Mr
Srivatsan Subramaniam. The event next year will feature a prize fund of
$(US)125,000, with $(US)50,000 going to the winning team.

Enthusiastically welcoming the championship which will be played in his
home city, WSF President Ramachandran explained: "Not only is this
exciting event a great boost for India, with the opportunity of
watching top stars competing in the flesh and on TV, but the bigger
picture is that we have added an important international event to our
shop-window."

Endorsing this, WSF Chief Executive Andrew Shelley added: "We see it as
essential to work with the mens and womens Tours to maximise our
media impact and to provide a full range of world titles for our sport.

"The World Cup is the only event in the squash calendar in which we
have a single competition for both men and women. Having one which is
staged every other year, starting next March, is a major step forward."
