We’re developing a new girls’ programme - and who better to guide us than the girls themselves ✨   Through a series of creative workshops, girls shared what they love about the game, and how they want #squash to look and feel. Their insights will play a key role in shaping the visual identity of this exciting new programme.   A great big thank you to Girls In Motion, Abbeydale squash and fitness club and Old Crossleyans for welcoming us and giving us the opportunity to engage with your brilliant juniors 🙌 #youthvoice

Game-changing news for #squash! 🙌 We’ve launched Ready, Set, Squash – a brand-new schools programme designed to open up the game to thousands of children nationwide. With free teacher and coach training, ready-made lesson plans, and exclusive equipment discounts, it’s never been easier to bring squash into primary schools – no courts or prior experience needed. A huge shoutout to Jo Rowbottom and Kirsten Todd for leading the way in making this happen. Their work ensures schools, teachers and coaches have everything they need to inspire the next generation. By opening up access through schools – one of the most powerful gateways to sport – this programme has the potential to transform how children discover squash and grow the game from the grassroots up.
