2 www.squashbc.comLetter from the President

Welcome to the 2009/10 squash season!

With the Vancouver 2010 Olympics fast approach-ing, the squash world is waiting with much anticipation for the final decision in October on which two sports will be included in the 2016 Summer Olympics. Squash is on that list and I am hopeful that the International Olympic Committee will recognize the value of including a sport like squash that demands the highest levels of fitness, flexibility and strength. In these difficult economic

times, squash is also a very economical sport to host and would not require the financial resources of other sports on the list. he World Squash Federation has been actively pursuing the inclusion of squash in 2016. You can see all of their announcements and materials on the WSF website at http://www.worldsquash.org.uk

We publish this handbook at the beginning of each squash season and send it to our members. This handy little book contains every-thing you wanted to know about Squash in BC but were afraid to ask. You will find the tournament schedule for the year, lists of players, award winners, coaches, officials and many more. We do our best to make this book interesting for our members so read through it and let us know if we hit the target.

Why does Squash BC exist? Simply, it exists to provide services to squash players that cannot be achieved by individual clubs. We pro-vide financial support to deserving athletes across the province at all levels of play. We arrange and conduct coaching and refereeing clinics so there is a consistent level of coaching and officiating across the province. We publish a tournament schedule, promote tournaments and provide online tournament registration services to clubs that could not afford to do it on their own. We do our best to add extra value to all our individual and club members.

For many members, we perform one vitally important service: we are the keeper of the provincial rankings. If there is one visible function of Squash BC, this is it. Nothing is more personal than your ranking. For

Letter from the President

many members, the ability to review their ranking points over the year provides them with tangible feedback on their performance over the course of the season.

That is why we are going to be doing our best to encourage all squash players to become members of Squash BC. An individual membership in Squash BC is $37, about 10 cents a day. Most people join because it is mandatory if you play in a league or tournament. We want to change that. I am often asked,“Why should I join Squash BC? After all, I pay my dues to play at my club”. My answer is that you are joining Squash BC to show your support for the sport in general and your pro-vincial organization in particular. Yes, joining Squash BC provides you with some benefits such as excess medical coverage but your support of the sport is important. Many organizations measure our success and provide funding or support based on the number of paid-up members we have. Can you afford to support your favourite sport for 10 cents a day?

At Squash BC we are continually seeking ways to provide more value to the squash players and clubs in our province. If you have any thoughts on how we can do that, please email me at president@squashbc.com

Until then, play hard, play safe, play fair but above all PLAY SQUASH

6 www.squashbc.comWhat is Squash BC?

Should You Support Squash in BC?

Most players in BC join Squash BC because they have to. Squash BC would like all members to think about what their membership really means to squash in BC.

Many players in BC have “supported” squash over the years and have not realized it. While joining Squash BC gives you many benefits, the support your membership offers squash are many. Your membership helps support programs like coaching and officiating, both of which keep the game grow-ing and in control. Your membership also helps support junior programs in BC. The juniors have made tremendous strides in the last few years with a new and improved development programs.

Supporting the organization of squash is something most people don’t think about. Organizing the tournament, coaching and officiating schedule is a huge job. Taking care of all the reporting to funding agencies takes time. Keeping the web site, newsletter and this Squash Book going is an ongoing project. Most leagues in BC, which are generally organized by volunteers, have had their work load cut by a tremendous amount with the development of QuickDraws. Squash BC worked very closely with Quick-Draws to develop all aspects of that program. There are many other behind the scenes activities which keep squash going in the province of BC that your membership supports.

One of the more important aspects of what your membership does for squash in BC is, you are counted. In this age of data, numbers do the talking. Sponsors of tournaments, leagues, junior program all want to know their message is being seen by many. Builders of facilities want to know their courts will be used. Funding agencies want to make sure they are helping the most people for every dollar they give. They all ask, “How Many Members are There?”

Just because you are not going to be playing league or tournaments this year doesn’t mean you should stop being a member. Your ongoing support of squash in BC will help the game to stay healthy and vibrant. For ten cents a day, this can be accomplished.

Here are a few benefits to membership

• On Court Sports Accident Insurance while Playing In or Practicing For Sanctioned Events. • Eligible to play in Squash BC sanctioned leagues, Victoria, Comox, Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Okanagan, Prince George to name a few. • Online League Management System which shows schedules, results, players and league rankings. • Eligible to play in 50 Squash BC sanctioned tournaments at reduced fees

Well I have to say that the past season was one of the most gratify-ing seasons for me personally. Vancouver not only hosted a Pro ISDA event which local boy Viktor Berg won with his partner Damien Mudge in convincing fashion. The city also hosted the 75th edition of the Canadian National Doubles Championships. The event was without a doubt a resounding suc-cess. Well done to all the people that worked so hard to make this event the success that it was. I would also like to congratulate Kelsey Parsons, winner of the La-dies 45+ event and to Neil Desaul-niers and Henry Tregillas, winners of the Men’s 75+ event.

Congratulations to the 2009 past BC Open Champions and thank you to Tournament Chair Jeff Boag and the Hollyburn Country Club.

Congratulations to the 2008 BC Open Champions and thank you to Steve Lawton and Vancouver Racquets Club

This coming season’s doubles schedule includes:• Vancouver City Doubles League, Women’s Doubles League and Doubles Squash rankings ... all online at http://www.squashbc.com/doubles/index.htm. • Introduction of doubles camps for juniors, beginning play-ers and experienced players wanting to improve their skills. Please contact Marvin Mizinski at doubles@squashbc.com if you are interested. • Referee Clinics• A full schedule of local and coastal tournaments posted online at http://www.squashbc.com/dou-bles/index.htm.

On a serious note check out the latest North American rankings: www.squashbc.com/doubles/rank-ings.htm. Congratulations to Cathy Covernton who is the #1 ranked Woman’s 40+ player in North Amer-ica and the #1 ranked Woman’s Open player in BC. Clearly much bigger news though is ... not sure who this Mizinski guy is but, man, he HAS to be a player ... ranked #1 in BC in the Men’s Open, 40+ and 45+ rankings. Good thing he does not play singles ... but that would be just way too easy.

Good squashing,

The 2020 Fund

OUR MISSIONThe 2020 Fund is a program initiated by Squash BC to help protect the growth of Squash and Junior Development in our province and to build the future of squash.

OUR GOALThanks to a very successful start to this program we now hope to reach our goal, of raising $200,000, as early as 2010. Once our goal has been reached the fund will use the interest gener-ated to fund coaching and junior development on an ongoing basis. As of August 30, 2009 the fund is at $152,000.

OUR CHALLENGESAs funding becomes less and less predictable, it is important that we look ahead and do something to ensure that there is a future for squash in British Columbia.

TO CONTRIBUTEThe sport of squash has been a major influence in many of our lives and it is only natural that many of us would like to put something back into it. There are many ways you can help: You can donate monthly or yearly, name the fund as a beneficiary of your insurance policy or will. You can always donate anonymously. Check out Squash BC for more information and a direct link to our online donation site.

TAX RECEIPTSTax receipts are available for gifts of $25 or more. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

28 www.squashbc.comThe Ranking System

Squash BC has been working with QuickDraws over the last 3 years to implement a ranking system that is transparent and fair to the majority of the squash players in BC. The major goal of this system is to have players placed in a list that shows where they would play on an average basis. This is NOT a reward system where you have one or two good wins and you go up above those players you beat. This system ranks you amongst players you would normally have a very good match against.

This ranking system is very dynamic and can change daily depending on what matches have been entered. Most leagues in BC use the league management part of the program and since the captains of teams enter results, things change all the time. As with all new systems there are some minor policy changes that need to be made in order to keep the system accurate and fair.

The first policy change is how a new player gets onto the system. We used to have it that a players first match would determine where he/she would go. They would go so many points below their opponent if they lost or so many points above them if they won. The problem was players would play out of their cat-egory in their first match and would be placed in the wrong position, (especially if they played up.)

The policy as of September 1, 2009 for getting onto the ranking system is; A new player will be placed on the ranking list “AFTER” their first

win. If they play in a category to low, it’s much easier to gain points then it is to lose them.

The other policy change is the default policy. Our old default policy read that “the first defaulted match would be recorded as a loss.” The main reason for this policy in the first place was to keep players from “Ducking” matches. (Yes players do this!) The problem with this was when a much higher player didn’t show up, the lesser ranked player received a bunch of points for just being there.

We have changed this policy so the defaulted match will be recorded as a loss to the defaulting player only The defaulting player will lose points for not showing up, while the other player will receive no points. We think this will keep the ranking list more accurate.

Players who retire during the match, (i.e. have an injury and have to concede the match,) will have the match recorded as a loss with the game score at the time of the injury. It the player was supposed to play in other matches, those matches will not be recorded in the ranking system. If a player starts a match with an injury from a previ-ous match, the match that he/she retires from will be the last match entered.

For a complete explanation on the ranking policies, please go to www.squashbc.com and click “Rankings” on the left side.

33 2009 / 2010 Edition Junior Development Programs

Provincial High Performance ProgramThe purpose of the Provincial High Performance Junior Squash Program is to provide the top junior squash players in each age category from U13 up, an opportunity to train and develop as both athletes and squash players within an integrated and sports science supported environment. The Program content will be delivered by a team of qualified Provincial Coaches working in conjunction with sport specialists from BC. The High Performance Program plans to work in Partner-ship with the various athlete’s coaches from around the Province.

Provincial Developing Junior Program The Provincial Developing Junior Program has been designed to guide the committed and improving junior squash athlete through a program of skill and fitness development in a supportive, fun environment. Using the input of certified Coaches and a guiding group of parent coordinators, selected athletes will have their skill and fitness abilities assessed through participation in a series of Provincial Camps.

Provincial Grassroots Junior Program The Provincial Grassroots Junior Program is being designed to guide clubs and schools through the start-ing and running of their grassroots programs. This is the first year the program has taken shape with the help of a committed volunteer group. Squash BC has purchased eyeguards to loan out to programs around the province. Squash BC

will also be looking to go into a partnership to acquire other equipment to loan out to fledgling programs around the province.

The Gudewill Travel Fund ProgramThe Gudewill family has gener-ously donated money over the years to help juniors travel to out of province junior tournaments. The amount athletes receive depends on how well they do at the 3 main national tournaments, Alberta Jesters, Canadian Junior Open and the Canadian Junior Closed. Their results are kept for all 3 with a win in the main round being worth 1 point, a win in the silver round worth 0.5 points and a win in the bronze worth 0.25. The athletes are then compared with one another and the funding is dispersed. Thank you to the Gudewill family.

The Junior Coach Travel Fund ProgramSquash BC, with the help of gaming funds, subsidizes the travel of 3 coaches to the 3 national junior tournaments mentioned above. We send these coaches to try and make sure that all the athletes who attend these tournaments have a coach while they are playing their matches. This doesn’t always happen because of the way the numbers and the draws work out. Priority on who they coach is based on which draw, (gold/silver/bronze,) the athletes are in. These coaches are not there to chaperone.

Canada Winter Games TeamSquash BC, along with the other provinces and territories in Canada

Squash BC Junior Development Programs

34 www.squashbc.comJunior Development Programs

is involved in the Canada Winter Games, (CWG.) The squash team is a part of Team BC which will travel to Halifax in 2011. The team will consist of 4 boys and 4 girls, 2 of each playing in the U19 and U17 categories. The team is going into it’s second training year with several training camps and tourna-ment athletes must attend. Last year athletes attended 3 camps and 3 tournaments along with all the other squash commitments. Go Team BC!

Skill Awards ProgramThe Skill Awards Program is a pro-gram designed by Squash Canada to help the development of squash athletes. The skills in this program are structured so that it takes the athlete from the basic racquet skills of a recreational junior to the advance strokes of a high performance junior. While it is intended to be a measuring stick for the junior athlete from the first time he or she picks up the racquet to his/her participation in junior tournaments, it can also be used for adults who are in the same situation. The Skill Awards kit can be ordered from the Squash BC office.

External Sport Credentials ProgramSquash BC has entered into a program with the Sport Branch that is known as “The Ministry of Educa-tion External Sport Credentials Pro-gram.” The program, in a nutshell, is a junior can apply to the program in several different areas as either a coach or an athlete. Both programs will give you 4 credits for your high school graduation. A letter signed

by your high school counselor is required.

Post Secondary Institute ProgramThe Post Secondary Institute Program has been developed throughout Canada as a program that will partner post secondary institutions with local clubs, pro-vincial organizations, (Squash BC,) and Squash Canada. The program is primarily a grassroots initiative to promote squash to Post Secondary students as a life time sport. There are grants available from Squash Canada and Squash BC and outlines on how the programs can be set up.

35 2009 / 2010 Edition Squash BC's Annual Awards

The Jack Larson Award for all round contribution was awarded to Andrew Lynn. Andrew has been a fixture in BC squash for many years. Most of you will know him for his abilities on court, taking players out in a calm, collected manner. What most people don’t know is the work behind the scenes Andrew has done in the past 21 years. Andrew joined the board of Squash BC in 1988 as a zone rep for Richmond/Delta/Burn-aby. He also served as a provincial coach both senior and junior. In the

mid 90’s Andrew became a Coaching Course Facilitator for giving coach-ing courses. Andrew has taught many coaches in this province to coach

squash. He is now a Master Course Facilitator which means he teaches coaches to teach coaches so they can teach you. Andrew is now a Level 4 coach and has coached national teams in various events around the world. Squash in BC is very lucky to have Andrew reside in our province. Thank you for being here Andrew.

The John Burris Memorial Trophy for Sportsmanship was won by a very worthy individual, Thomas Brinkman.John Burris was a person for whom

integrity, honesty and loyalty went hand-in-hand. On the court, he did not take any rallies off! Thomas is exactly the same. When you are on the court

with Thomas, it is a battle but you can be sure it will be fair and fun. Congratulations Thomas. The Ernie Rogers Bowl was won by Carolyn Russell and Viktor Berg.

Carolyn and Vik-tor had a very good year. Caro-lyn fought back from a back injury and made the Canadian Women’s Team that went to Egypt. She also

ended the year ranked number one in BC and Canada. Viktor also had a good year, winning most of the doubles tour-naments he and his partner went in thus maintain-ing his number one World Doubles ranking. Needless

to say that squash players in BC are very proud of having Carolyn and Viktor call BC their home and both are great to watch. Thank you Carolyn and Viktor.

The Presi-dents Plate was won by Marvin Mizinski. Marvin has been vol-unteering for over 10 years, mainly with doubles squash. Marvin took

over the doubles committee and has been a tireless volunteer and one that gets the job done well, (squash BC needs more people like him.) This last year, Marvin organized and ran two very large doubles tournaments, the Canadian Doubles and the Vancouver Open ISDA Pro Doubles. The hours Marvin spent in organizing these events probably numbers in the thousands. Marvin is a great guy, a tremendous

ambassador for squash and is a very worthy win-ner of the Presidents Plate.

The Massey Goolden Trophy is designated to honor

junior players for achievement combined with sportsmanship. Rumi Tejpar was given the award this year for his outstanding play, sportsmanship and dedication to squash. Congratulations Rumi. The BC Junior Squash Service Award is presented to an indi-vidual who has unselfishly inspired, coached or mentored Junior squash players. David Leman is this year’s re-cipient of the Junior Service Award. David has been volunteer-ing with the junior com-mittee for 5 years. He took over the chair of the committee 4 years ago and has initiated many changes within the Squash BC Junior program. The changes he spearheaded have already started making a difference. BC Juniors at this years national championships had the best show-ing ever with 9 players placing eighth or better. David has also got many more people involved in the junior committee. With his leadership and structure of the junior program, BC juniors will be a force to be feared for many years to come. Congratulations Dave and well done.

The BC Athlete Assistance Program is a Provincial Government Program in which athletes who have the potential and are working hard at earning a place on the National team are given bursaries. They must be truly dedicated to the sport, travel to compete and have the results to back up their capabilities. They must be coached by a minimum Level 3 coach and be 16 years of age and over.

The amount that Squash BC receives from the government for this program is usually $6000.00 and it comes with a restriction that each athlete chosen can receive no less than $500.00.

The following candidates were chosen for this program for the 2008-09 season.

39 2009 / 2010 Edition Offi ciating Programs

The rules of squash are probably the most talked about subject in the game. If we were to think logically about this topic, we would come to the conclusion that 50% of our competitive players should be certified officials. 50% of the players in a match will have to referee the next match!!! Squash BC is part of a nation wide officiating program that has been set up and maintained for many years by Squash Canada and all member provinces like Squash BC. Part of your membership dues will go to the running of this program. Course conductors are constantly being trained. Officials are being assessed in all parts of Canada. New and old officials in the program have to be tracked so we know what level they are and what level of play they are qualified to do.

Squash BC runs two types of officiating clinics throughout the year. The Mini Rules Clinic is for players who have no wish to become a certified official but know they have to learn the rules in order to play the game. This clinic runs for one to two hours, (depending on the questions asked,) and can usually be done in an evening session. It will cover most every-thing you will need to know in order to referee a game after you win and what you are entitled to as a player.

The second type is the Certification Course. This is a bit longer process as there are a few more steps involved. The first part is a PowerPoint presentation to go through the various aspects of an official’s job. This will cover everything from the proper way of keeping score through how to decide strokes and lets. After this presentation there will be a 40 question written test and then a practical test where you will be assessed officiat-ing a match. A Provincial Examiner will deliver all of these components to becoming a certified official. Theses steps do not have to be done on the same day but it makes it a lot easier if you do. The length of this course will be four to five hours and is usually done on a weekend.

Once you’ve become certified, you will start out as a D4 official. The letter and the number in the designation are for the level of Referee and the level of Marker respectively. There are four basic levels in the officiating program and they are as follows: D1-D4 A novice officialC1-C3 A competent official at the local levelB1-B2 An experienced provincial official, capable of handling matches equivalent to the early rounds of a national championships.A1 A national official capable of handling matches at any level.

After your initial certification you will be able to move up the certification ladder by being observed by a qualified official. Depending on the level of certification you are, will depend on the level of match you will have to referee and the number of correct and difficult call you will have to make. You must have five assessments of the correct number and difficulty in order to go to the next level.

A complete explanation of the officiating program can be viewed at Squash Canada’s web site, www.squash.ca.

42 www.squashbc.comCoaching in BC

Squash BC has always maintained that every squash player deserves the best coach possible. We were one of the first sports to say coaches must be credible and certified at the level they are coaching. We have used the National Coaching Certification Program, (NCCP) as a cornerstone to achieving this goal.

Coaching in BC and Canada is undergoing a change in the way coaches are taught how to coach and how they will be evaluated to become certified. Key to these changes is a shift in emphasis from “what a coach knows” to “what a coach can do.” In the new, competency-based system, train-ing and certification programs are based on the clearly defined needs of participants.

There are two streams of coaches, the Instruction Stream and the Compe-tition Stream. The Instruction Stream is for volunteer coaches who want to help out with the local junior program. The Competition Stream is for coaches who wish to move on to coach higher level athletes or become a club professional.

There are two courses coaches have to take to become certified. The first course most people take will be a weekend course that will go through the steps of teaching players how to play squash. These courses start with the basics of hitting forehands, backhands and simple strategy to advanced strokes and strategy.

The other course is a theory course or a multi sport module. These courses are offered around the province at various times during the year at local colleges and recreation centres. The courses cover topics such as planning, nutrition, fitness training, ethics in sport, etc. You can take this course by correspondence if you can’t make a course in your area. (Once you pass a multi sport module you will be able to use it for other sports as well.) For more information and a schedule of the multi sport module, go to http://www.coaches.bc.ca.

After the first theory course or for coaches in the old system who want to upgrade to the next level, coaches must take and pass the online “Making Ethical Decisions” test on the Coaching Association of Canada’s web site. Go to the link on the right side of this page. http://www.coach.ca/eng/eth-ics/index.cfm.

The next step would to be evaluated giving instruction to a player at the appropriate level by a course facilitator and graded on your knowledge and ability to pass it on. After this you will be certified at this level and be able to move on to the next higher level.

Squash BC follows the Eyeguards policy set out by Squash Canada. Although neither Squash BC nor Squash Canada mandate the use of eyeguards for adults, we strongly recommend that every squash player in BC wear them. If you think playing with eyeguards hinders your game, try playing squash with one eye?

Eyeguard Certification Policy:“That only protective eyewear appearing on the Squash Canada list of ac-ceptable eyeguards meeting the ASTM designation F803 (Standard Speci-fication for Eye Protectors for Use by Players of Racket Sports), shall be allowable at any Squash Canada sanctioned event where the use of protec-tive eyewear is mandatory.” June 1997

Junior Eyeguard Policy:“That all juniors who are members in good standing of Squash Canada shall appropriately wear eyeguards which are on Squash Canada’s list of acceptable protective eyewear, in any Squash Canada sanctioned events and on-court activities for which they receive funding from Squash Canada, or activities where they are members of a Canadian Team or Squad.” January 1998

“That it is strongly recommended that all players shall appropriately wear eyeguards, which are on Squash Canada’s list of acceptable protective eyewear, in any Squash Canada sanctioned Doubles and Mixed Doubles Championships.” January 1998

The Jesters were founded in England in 1929 by a schoolboy, Jock Burnett, who wished to encourage the playing of racquet sports. The Jesters in Eng-land play not just squash, but also tennis, real tennis, fives and racquets. There is an active fixture list in all these sports which are played against other clubs and schools.

The Jesters is now a worldwide organization of over 3,000 members, most of whom are squash players. There are members in all Canadian prov-inces. Members are elected locally by the membership and candidates are selected on the basis of playing ability, sportsmanship and contribution to the game of squash.

The BC Jesters meet on a social basis on a regular basis. We are actively involved with promoting junior squash, university play and host an annual doubles tournament.
