Women's Squash
Increasing women's participation in squash is a priority for U.S. SQUASH. Junior, individual and team programs are strong across the country. U.S. SQUASH and the College Squash Association are now partnered on an initiative to add 10 new women's varsity programs in 5 years. In an effort to build the momentum of a "tour" for women squash players, there is currently a focus on building participation at these specific tournaments in the 2010 season:
The Grand Open
New York, NY
1/22/10 - 1/24/10
U.S. Masters Squash Championships (Open Age Division)
Newport, RI
3/12/10 – 3/14/10
U.S. SQUASH Championships (Skill Level)
King of Prussia, PA
4/16/10-4/18/10
Southwest Open Three-A-Side Team Event
Tempe, AZ
9/23/10 – 9/26/10
U.S. Women’s Team Squash Championship (Howe Cup)
Rye, NY
11/5/10 – 11/7/10
In addition to increasing participation at national events, a regional network of women’s committee members has been developed. We encourage anyone who has questions on tournaments, leagues and participation for a specific geography to contact the regional representative listed under the Women’s Committee link.
