The team at East Coast Squash Academy would like to congratulate Maggie Goodman on her recent success at the Australian Junior Championships. Maggie and her brother Sam have both been working with Head Coach Aaron Frankcomb over the past year in the lead up to this event. Maggie seeded number four in the U15 girls event, defeated number two seed Ella Burge in four games to take the title (9-11, 11-3, 11-4, 11-9). Sam (seeded 27th) on the other hand, began the event by toppling the 15th seed in the first round which allowed him to finish in a top 16 position. This was a fantastic result for both Goodman's which is a testimony to their dedication and effort to training throughout the year! Well done guys!

Below is the full replay of Maggie's final. It can be viewed from the 2:58:32 mark.

This week, PSA recognised all of its female players by creating an initiative "Women's Squash Week".

This campaign aims to celebrate all of the women in our game whilst also encouraging the wider squash community to increase womens participation in our game. Initially, this was a US squash initiative  that has gained momentum over the last few years to become a global initiative.  For more information about how you can get involved in current and future women's squash week follow this link.

US Squash and Drexel University announced their agreement to enter into a long-term sublease allowing US Squash to invest $27 million to transform the 32nd Street Armory into a national center to serve the U.S. squash community. Check out the full article here.

Currently, US Squash is leading the charge in terms of growth and participation in squash; showing a 66% growth overall since 2010 and is recognised as the 12th fastest growing sport in the US. This growth of the game does not stop there, the collegiate setting has also grown 61% since 2005 with 89 mens and 53 womens programs across the country.

This can only bring positive things to the game. Stay tuned and keep an eye out for some young American juniors set to come through the ranks in the near future.
