England Squash is recognised bySport England as theEnglish national governing body of the racket sports ofsquash andsquash 57.[1] Based at theNational Squash Centre in Manchester, it aims to increase participation in both sports.[2]
TheSquash Rackets Association was founded in 1928, to take over the administration of the game from theTennis and Rackets Association. In 1934, the separate Women’s Squash Rackets Association was formed. These associations looked after squash in Great Britain until 1980, when responsibility forScotland andWales passed to autonomous national associations. The English SRA and Women's SRA amalgamated in 1989.[3]
The SRA was the recognised world authority for squash until the formation, in 1967, of the International Squash Rackets Federation (which became theWorld Squash Federation in 1992). In 1988, the British Racketball Association merged with the SRA.
In 2001, the SRA was re-launched as England Squash, becoming England Squash & Racketball in 2009.[4] Long-term chief executive, Nick Rider, left in 2014[5] and in 2015, the racketball name was dropped from its title.[6]
