Squash Information
General Info
Squash is hailed as one of the healthiest sports in the world, played inside a rectangular box with walls against an opponent, combining many physical and mental elements. It is a fun sport with a lot of continual new learning and challenges involved.
Squash at NX is open to all levels of players, including beginners. Year 7 and 8 boys and girls. Teams may be mixed gender.
These games will help in the selection for the team to attend the NH Squash zone day in term 2.
In 2026 our students have more options to play in Squash leagues are held in Term 1 through to Term 4. Please see below for all information.

Training
Unbound Sport - 2026 training option to be confirmed.
There is a weekly session available for players to attend at no additional cost. This is recommended to attend, but is not compulsory. Information to follow.
Selection process
We go through a very thorough selection process to finalise our teams and players will be placed in a team that our selectors have determined best suits their ability and experience. While inevitably there will be some movement of players, both up and down teams, it is important to remember that this movement can be a result of the following factors:
- New players who didn’t play last year can also create movement for other players, especially if they are placed in a higher team, resulting in other players moving down to a lower team.
- Individual development and growth over the summer months. If individual players have put in an extra effort and completed additional training over the holiday, this can definitely show during trials, resulting in higher performance on the court and some movement between teams.
We understand that some students will have questions regarding the trial process and eventually the team selection – if your child does, please ask them to see Anna in the sports office.
As per our Sports Selection Policy, no correspondence regarding team selection will be entered into. If you wish to view it, please download the document at the bottom of this page.
