US SQUASH increases Regional Squad frequency; 2014 Junior Individual and Team World Championships selection criteria posted

RegionalSquadsFollowing up on the successful regional squads hosted in six regions this spring, US Squash will host three squads per region in seven regions this season. The initiative aims to support the development of junior players and create pathways to representing the U.S. in international competition. The first squad in each region will take place November 16 or 17, 2013, depending on the region.  

Regular development squads will continue to take place in each region in order to extend the reach of the National Team program and draw from the broadest base of talent. The program will increase access to the National Team experience regionally, and develop an elite player continuum from juniors, to college players, to professionals and adults.  The other two squad weekends will be held in January and May 2014. 

In addition to the increased frequency, one adjustment to the spring squad criteria will be the elimination of the U19 category. Therefore top ranked boys and girls in the under 13, 15, 17 divisions are eligible to apply to participate in the Regional Squads, with up to four players per age division, per gender, per region selected based on registered interest.
