Squash NZ plan to develop a Squash in Schools programme in 2012 and are hoping that it will be available for the 2013 school year. Whilst there is currently no national programme available, Squash has 11 District associations throughout NZ and these all have local programmes and delivery mechanisms.

Squash is a fun sport for young children to get involved in and the indoor nature of the game means it's great all year round. There are two options available for school squash programmes.

1. take the children to the courts
2. bring the courts to the children

Club Schools Programmes

With over 200 squash clubs throughout NZ, most towns and all cities have a squash club nearby and most clubs have a junior programme and a coach available. Programme can be held during school hours, at lunchtime, or after school.

Microcourt Programmes

Most of the 11 District associations have a microcourt that is available to take into schools. This allows children to try the sport out, without leaving the school grounds.

How to get Squash in Your School

If your school is interested in running a squash programe and you would like to find out more, please contact your local District association. Their contact details can be found here.
