SQUASH GIRLS CAN
Squash Girls Can is a government-funded program that reaches out and engages with Universities across Australia to promote and teach girls how to play Squash.
Programs are designed to teach girls at universities the basic skills of the sport, building social connections and enjoyment, with the aim of getting them to register and play at a local squash club.
While the program is currently limited to those at university, it does encourage girls and women across Australia to play and get involved in the sport with inspiring messages and profiling girls who are new to the sport to encourage others to play.
Squash Australia is focused on driving female participation and growth across all ages around the country and Squash Girls Can is a part of increasing those numbers.
