Women’s Squash Week is a campaign encouraging squash communities to celebrate women in squash. Over the past week, clubs and federations from all around the world have hosted a range of events to increase participation and engagement in women’s squash.
The East Coast Squash Academy continues to promote and expand female participation in squash with programs that encourage more women to take up the sport. Over the last 18 months over 60 women have taken part in a team competition in the Sydney CBD. These exciting round-robin competitions have provided opportunities to compete in a fun and supportive environment with other women.

The academy-run Squash Girls Can program has also been a great success, with many women taking part in the sport for the first time and given the opportunity to develop their skills and improve their overall fitness. Among them is academy coach and high-performance player Anna McRae (pictured above in the white T-shirt), who first picked up a racquet as part of the Squash Girls Can program in late 2019. Anna has since been training regularly with the academy and improved very rapidly, she is now training semi-professionally with the hopes of playing for Australia!
East Coast Squash Academy Director, Aaron Frankcomb and Senior Professional Coach, Mike Dickens are expanding the junior program to cater for complete beginners right through to female juniors looking to represent the country. We hope to see many more female players of all ages and abilities take up the sport, and continue to grow women’s squash.
