2025 State Event Calendar

Following our successful collaboration in 2024, Squash NSW is pleased to continue working with the National Calendar for Squash in Australia. We have outlined the following guidelines to streamline the process and ensure consistency across events, both within the Sydney metro area and regionally:

·       Foster Connection: Link event hosts across all levels, from State to Club.

·       Simplify and Harmonise: Improve calendar information and aesthetics while avoiding scheduling conflicts.

·       Ensure Consistency: Establish uniform standards for all events.

·       Enhance Accessibility: Create a user-friendly calendar for all squash enthusiasts.

·       Ongoing Support: Offer continuous assistance from the State Competitions Manager and the Squash Australia Events Manager.

We aim to provide a well-organized and effective calendar that benefits all participants and organisers.
