                                   awesome people!

NR President Jules Wone is appealing to some awesome people to
step up and do a little volunteering to help NR Squash. You don’t have
to be a committee member to help but that is still an option if that
interests you.

“Please consider what you can do to help out. Too few are doing
everything in the NR and in the clubs. I hear the struggle from those in
the NR that are feeling a bit burnt out.

Everyone has skills that can be helpful at the junior tournaments, as
committee members, writing grant applications, attending meetings,
providing information for the newsletter, taking photos at events,
fundraising, promoting squash, following up sponsors, there is so much
each of us can do at our local clubs and for the NR.

Please get involved”.

Are you an awesome person?

An awesome person is one who has a passion for squash (sport), has a little
spare time on their hands who in turn could volunteer to their local club, to junior
squash, to the Northern Region or to promotion.

An awesome person has energy and a positive outlook. An awesome person is
one who does as opposed to sitting back and just being critical.

An awesome person is one who wants to make a difference. One who cares
about our sport and wants to contribute to its development and growth.

If you are an awesome person please step up and show us what you can do! We
would love to welcome you aboard the NR Express ... yes, we are serious about
building a healthier squash program in the NR.

Northern Region Committee
Racketball - Squash Queensland recently requested that Regions approach all their centres and
clubs to find out what interest there is for racketball tournaments. The response in the NR has
been pretty strong with Mackay, Townsville and Cairns indicating an interest to host racketball
tournaments. The NR committee are now going to attempt to get a tournament or 2 underway
in the Region. Please look out for these tournaments. It would be nice for lots of squash players
and lots of new faces to join in. It may also get more people playing squash.

Just so everyone knows the sport of racketball comes under Squash Australia and Squash
Queensland and therefore NR also holds responsibility to promote racketball.

Gayle has been working very hard to get the Northern Region webpage updated, including
updated April 2021 NR Junior rankings. Please go to the webpage to have a look and let Gayle
know if you have any ideas, what needs to be changed or if things can be done better. Any
ideas would be greatly welcomed. This is the link to the Northern Region webpage:

2021 Junior Tournament dates are:
Mackay      1/2 May 2021               Squash 52                 Silver

2021/2022 Junior Tournament dates are:

Cairns     30 April/1 May 2022    Cairns Squash Club             Silver

Please note Mackay and Cairns are the compulsory tournaments. To qualify for selection to the
Redbacks team, juniors must play three (3) of the four (4) NR Junior tournaments.

A junior must play both compulsory tournaments in Cairns and Mackay and at least 1
tournament in Ingham (TBC) or Townsville. Juniors who meet this criteria will be given priority
consideration when the Redbacks are selected regardless of strength of an individual who has
not fully qualified or strength of the overall team. Please do not assume you will be selected to
the Redbacks if you have not qualified by attending the required tournaments or have not
provided medical evidence to remain eligible.

Format of the NR Junior Tournaments:
     Compulsory tournaments (Mackay and Cairns) will be age and gender format.
     Non-Compulsory tournaments (Ingham and Townsville) will be divisions.

Blue Cards
Northern Region are now set up online to renew Blue Cards. Please contact me if you need to

setting the seedings according to the Queensland seedings list, setting the draws, match
scheduling and being at the championships to run the individual and team events.

Squash Queensland, NR and Cairns Squash are coordinating to make this event successful and
memorable. Thanks to the few people who responded to my call for volunteers to help get
different parts of the QJC ready to go. We still have lots to do and if you want to get involved
please contact Gayle or myself. In particular we are seeking sponsors.

Please be aware Northern Region Juniors who have qualified for the Northern Region but are
not selected to the Northern Redbacks team may be released to be selected by the other 3
regions to play at the 2021 QJC. This is will be discussed with parents prior to junior's details
being provided to Squash Queensland for this process.

QUEENSLAND JUNIOR RANKINGS
Since January 2020, the Queensland Junior rankings have been updated by the Squash
Queensland Administrator. So far this is working very well and reducing the burden on the NR
Selectors to apply the actual ranking policy after junior tournaments. Also provides consistency
across the regions.

1 April 2021 Queensland Junior rankings are available on the Squash Queensland Webpage.
The State junior rankings and associated combined seedings will be relied upon by the NR
tournament hosts to set draws. Timely appeals will be essential. The appeal process in the
policy provides for an internal review (like the old policy to give the rankers a chance to affirm
or change their mind), and if the appellant remains aggrieved by that review decision, the
appeal must be decided by an independent decision maker.

Please be aware if juniors are not affiliated again after 12 April 2021, they will not continue to
be listed in the Queensland and NR ranking list.

AFFILIATION WITH SQUASH QUEENSLAND
Affiliation will be due after 12 April 2021, unless advised differently from Squash Queensland. If
a further extension is granted, Squash Queensland will advise and an email sent.
Affiliation is compulsory for all juniors to compete in the NR Junior tournaments and in the
State and National Championships. Juniors must have full affiliation to play for the Northern
Redbacks. Affiliation status will be checked prior to all NR Junior tournaments and the
Queensland Junior Championships.

2021 Affiliation fees will soon be announced.

Please remember affiliation comes with many benefits – especially personal insurance when
participating in the game or related activity, such as fundraising.
Only affiliated juniors will be provided a Queensland and Northern Region ranking. Juniors
whose affiliation is not paid after 12 April 2021 will not continue to have a Queensland and
Northern Region ranking as per May 2021.

Please note players living in Mackay, Townsville, Ingham and Cairns and all areas in between
along the coast are not considered remote and do not qualify for the Remote Member
Registration.

NORTHERN REGION MEETING
The next Northern Region meeting will be at the 2021 Mackay NR Closed Junior Championships
Saturday 1 May 2021.
Please send your agenda items to Kirsty Hoani E: hoanikr23@hotmail.com
Standing items on the agenda are coaching clinics, regional participation, grants, 2021 QJC.

FUNDING/GRANTS
Cairns Squash have been successful to be awarded a grant from the Cairns Regional Council for
$6,500 towards the QJC. These funds will contribute to court hire and promotion of Cairns
Squash to the locals. This grant also ensures more funds will remain available to the Northern
Region to contribute to NR members in the future.

Grant money is really free money available to all clubs if you are willing to spend some time
seeking suitable grants and completing the applications. Organisation applications vary in
complexity. However, most applications are relatively simple and do not take too much time to
complete. All centres should be applying for grants. Please consider how you can help your club
and if you have any ideas or you can help with identifying grants and writing applications
please contact Karlye Rhodes E: doug.rhodes@bigpond.com for assistance.

Currently Squash Australia are also offering all squash clubs the opportunity to have support to
apply for grants. For more information E: facilities@squash.org.au or go to
https://www.squash.org.au/w/membership/facility-grant-writers.

Cash for Cans is a great fundraising idea for clubs. The Bunnings Sausage Sizzle days are back on
with very strict Covid-19 restrictions.

Please consider getting a group together to fundraise for your club.

player online management tools which are programs that provides similar functions to Sporty
HQ. This trial is to understand which system is most adequate to meet the needs of Squash in
Queensland.

                                    A brief word from VP Gayle Baxter
What a nonstop start to my new position, watching our ever growing under 9s head off to their
first out of town Tournament was worth it. With the younger players learning the rules that
come with full day tournaments, they all seemed to embrace it so energetically, that a lot of
them insisted on going to Ingham while still in the car driving home from Townsville. Seeing
them getting up and learning to score on the IPAD with aid of an older player, to watching their
little faces as they cheered on some of the more senior players, who they admire. I look
forward to seeing as many of these little superstars as we can in Mackay.

I am learning as I go, so if anyone has a topic you would like to know more about, feel free to
get in touch with me and I can do some research to find out what I can and add it to the next
newsletter.

2021 Ingham Junior Qualifier
                                 Thanks Kim DiBella
Ingham Squash Club hosted a very successful NR Redbacks junior qualifying
tournament at the Ingham Squash Centre last weekend. Thirty-six talented
players from Mackay to Cairns took part in the third qualifying tournament on the
NR calendar for 2021.

The weekend was a hit with spectators and family members watching from the
viewing deck. Thirteen players represented the Ingham club and each player
performed well with many grabbing a place in their tiered event.

Talented brothers, Brayden and Damien Marino, playing in their first tournament,
took out runner up in both their divisions. Upcoming star, Kara Nash, also playing
in her first tournament fought hard to grab third place in Division 5. Older brother,
Jack, came in runner up in the all Ingham Division 3 podium alongside, winner,
Sharief Kabay and third place, Carter Bates. In Division 6, Ingham beginner,
Connor Henderson took out the title, with Leonard Strik coming second.

In the doubles event, Carter Bates teamed up with Townsville junior, Hannah
O'Toole to take top spot from Sharief Kabay and Mackay's Kayce Hoani-Vincent.

Other Ingham representatives on the weekend included Mackenzie and Ally
Rhodes, Liam Fascetti, Lachlan Erba and Zane Robinson.

Ingham Squash Club would like to thank silver sponsors, Robyn's Mobile
Computer Services and Mick's Hot Bread Kitchen as well as their Bronze
sponsors, Local Member for Parliament, Nick Dametto, Ingham Motorcycles and
Mowers and Ingham Family Medical Centre.

Ingham squash juniors will continue training for the next qualifier in Mackay in
May where the Northern Region team will be named.
