World Squash Day 2023

REMINDER to celebrate WORLD SQUASH DAY on Saturday October 14th and help promote both your club and our great game of Squash, IRISH SQUASH urge you to organise a day of activity in your squash club.  The message is simple: Let’s all focus on a day of Fun For Everyone.

We also encourage you to fundraise for a local charity during your event, to engage the event with your local community.

This is an opportunity to bring your club together and also to promote the club and Squash to the community in your area.

So please organise play in your club on Saturday the 14th of October.

To pre-register please fill out this short form – HERE

Irish Squash particularly encourages you to organise play for juniors in your club/community, even if they have never played before. 

*Promote the event on your club’s social media platform with the WSD logo & the hashtag  #squashfun on every post.

Squash is rated one of the healthiest sports for players of all ages. Squash burns around 900 calories per hour and the health benefits can last a lifetime for those who continue playing into their 40s, 50s and 60s.
