We’re calling on all clubs to appoint a Women & Girls in Squash Champion – a passionate volunteer who will help drive inclusion, representation, and community for women and girls in squash.

At Squash Ireland, we believe that sport should be for everyone. That’s why we’re excited to launch a new initiative designed to elevate and expand female participation in squash across the country.

We’re calling on all clubs to appoint a Women & Girls in Squash Champion – a passionate volunteer who will help drive inclusion, representation, and community for women and girls in squash.

This new voluntary role is a key part of our Women in Sport strategy. Each club is invited to nominate one woman to act as their Champion, serving as a vital link between their local club and Squash Ireland.

Role Responsibilities include:

  • Liaising with Squash Ireland on Women in Sport initiatives and updates
  • Representing the voices of women and girls within your club’s committee
  • Receiving regular resources and invitations to national network calls
  • Sharing ideas and experiences to help shape the future of the sport

This is not a time-heavy commitment – it’s about passion, advocacy, and building community.

If your club already has someone fulfilling this role (eg. lady captain, women’s activity head coach), simply share her details with us and we’ll add her to the national network.
If not, you can still get involved – and yes, you may nominate a man if no woman is available.

This initiative is about building momentum, sharing success, and making sure women’s voices are heard. By getting involved, clubs can help inspire more women and girls to take part in squash – not just as players, but as coaches, officials, and leaders. This is how we grow the game and create a more inclusive future for all.

Ready to take the next step? Nominate your Champion today by filling in the form here below.

Following the nomination deadline, we’ll host the first Women & Girls in Squash Network Meeting – a friendly and informal space to connect, share ideas, and shape the future together.

Let’s work together to inspire change. Get involved. Make a difference. Lead the change.
