"The Auckland school's competition is incredibly strong and has national age group champions and runners-up competing from all age groups - under-19, under-17, under-15 and under-13 - including the National Secondary Schools Girls Championship team from Epsom Girls Grammar," he said. "With 28 squash clubs across Auckland, the sport is well positioned to engage with Auckland secondary schools.
"To support the growth of our sport we have formed a College Sport Squash Club for players which will allow us all to engage with schools and the competition's participants at a new level," said Vodanovich. "The Secondary School Club membership will be made up of secondary school players who participate in the competition."
This means secondary school players will be graded on the Squash New Zealand website, with all matches counting towards their grading.
The player grading will also enable keen players to enter tournaments held by clubs.
"We envisage that as the competition grows in stature we will see more school leavers looking to maintain squash as their sport of choice," said Vodanovich. "We all have a part to play in establishing this partnership and the links that clubs forge today will impact on the success of junior growth and development in the sport in the Auckland region moving forward."
Squash clubs are being encouraged to formalise relationships with local schools, opening the club doors to engage with schools, students and parents.
Vodanovich sees the initiative as a two-way plan by removing the barriers for participation in squash within the school environment, as a clear path to grow the sport in the Auckland region, improve on an already successful competition format, encourage school leavers to join clubs and stay in the sport and to develop coaching resources within clubs and schools.
For the clubs it is very much an "up to you" benefit. They will be encouraged to engage with this significant squash community by forming close ties with local secondary schools and identify people who can manage the relationship.
Squash Auckland will assist by encouraging clubs to have junior nights and invite school team members to participate, to get club links on local school websites, ensure school players are aware of tournaments and offer club/secondary school junior memberships.
Clubs will also be encouraged to offer coaching and make facilities available to school teams, hold rules nights and host an end-of-year open day to involve school players.
The College Sport competition begins next term and will continue into term three.
