Squash NSW Honours & Awards - Finalists

A celebration of our squash community

Squash is more than a game. It is the people who welcome a new player onto court, the coach who helps someone believe in their potential, the official who protects fair play, the volunteer who keeps a club moving, and the competitor who inspires others through commitment and respect.

The Honours & Awards are designed; to celebrate the many ways our community makes squash stronger. The nominations this year reflect an outstanding calibre of achievement and service across NSW. Every finalist has made a meaningful contribution; every winner represents the spirit, effort and generosity that help our sport thrive.

Congratulations to all nominees, finalists and we look forward announcing the winners on 7 November. Thank you for helping create more places to play and more opportunities for people to discover and enjoy squash.
