New Funding Program

Hello to all the Junior squash players and their parents!
Another Squash Season is upon us! We hope you’ve all had an enjoyable Summer and are looking forward to another action packed year of Squash!

We’re pleased to announce a new Funding Program to help defray the costs of traveling to select out of town Squash Tournaments. These funds have been made available to us through a grant from the SportsFunder Lottery. Please take a moment and review the package (Click here to download a pdf of the package). If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail either myself or Squash BC’s Executive Director Kevin Kydd.

Regards,

BC Athlete Assistance Program

The BC Athlete Assistance Program is funded by the Sport and Recreation Branch of the Provincial Government. Athletes wishing to apply for funding through this program must meet the criteria as published by the branch and Squash BC. For a set of criteria by the branch you may view the branches web page at, http://www.tsa.gov.bc.ca/sport/programs/bcapp_pso.htm. For sport specific criteria and an application please click here or contact Kevin Kydd at Squash BC.

Calling All Juniors:

Squash BC has entered into a program with the Sport Branch that is known as "The Ministry of Education External Sport Credentials Program." 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, so you may want to do this in the next month.
