Squash SA Guidelines for administrators and committees
SQUASH SOUTH AFRICA
As with all sports world wide, squash has an administrative umbrella body – Squash South Africa - which is responsible for all aspects of the sport throughout South Africa.
Every event administered throughout the country falls under the auspices of Squash South Africa and thus every province, every club, each association, needs to abide by the prevailing policies and rules of Squash South Africa.
Squash South Africa together with 138 other countries is affiliated to the World Squash Federation and abides by the WSF Rules of Squash for both singles and doubles.
In South Africa Squash South Africa falls under the jurisdiction of Sport and Recreation South Africa and SASCOC. Although not an Olympic sport, it is recognized by SASCOC which is also in charge of Team South Africa at the Commonwealth Games and the All Africa Games.
Squash South Africa sometimes receives funding from Sport and Recreation for development, administration courses and for participation in the World senior teams championships.
Squash at tertiary institutions falls under USSA Squash, which in turn falls under FISU, the world wide umbrella for student sports, while squash at schools level falls under S A Schools Squash, which at present comes under the Squash South Africa banner as there is no Schools Sport umbrella body at present.

GRASS ROOTS DEVELOPMENT

Provinces have always been encouraged to conduct programmes in their areas in order to attain the necessary numbers of players of colour to fulfill the Affirmative Action Agreement, which has been signed by Squash South Africa and the Minister of Sport.
DEVELOPMENT
All provinces need to embark upon an aggressive campaign to attract junior players and develop them. This is the nursery for the future.
There also needs to be an “awakening” amongst clubs, which do not have junior sections. South Africa is the only country in the world with a strong schools structure and this is unfortunately, due to various factors, starting to crack.
Many clubs are battling to survive but when observes the success being achieved in the field of mini-cricket, mini-hockey and mini-tennis we need to start making inroads so as to preserve the future.
