Squash NZ Affiliation

Squash New Zealand affiliates to the Oceania and World Squash Federations and so takes its place as a paid-up member of the world squash community.  In doing so, it secures for its own members access to all the international playing opportunities, the worldwide marketing of the game of squash, and the latest technical information about the rules of the game, court construction and design, ball technologies etc.  For Squash New Zealand, affiliation is the means of "belonging" and being able to operate within a global strategy. 

Wtihin New Zealand, there are just over 200 affiliated clubs and 11 affiliated district associations.

Reaffiliation Grant

For squash clubs who are considering reaffiliating with squash clubs, there is a reaffiliation grant available (with criteria). Please Contact Us if you would like further information on this.
