Squash NZ website before February 2012.
12. National Promotional Campaign: Plan and coordinate
a national club promotion campaigns to increase
awareness and participation of squash.
Due to staff shortages at the National Offices in 2011,
there was no promotional campaign this year. However,
2012 has been identified by Squash NZ as the Year of
Women’s Squash and SNZ will work with clubs and
Districts to promote the sport to more girls and women,
through social media and print media.
In addition to these 12 projects, Squash NZ has also been
working with the Districts and clubs to access KiwiSport
funding. To date, four Districts and six clubs have accessed a
total of $156,000 to get more children playing squash. This will
be a focus for 2012 along with the Year of Women’s Squash.
