Gold Events
Entry deadline will be 11:59 p.m. the Wednesday of the week prior to the tournament (10 days before the event). Waiting lists will be established.
There will be absolutely no refunds after the draws have been done. Juniors entering Gold or Ontario Championships
Juniors must play in their age group, unless they meet the following criteria:
Won any 2 (two) of the following junior events in their current age group
Note: If a player won 2 of the required events (as above) in their age group but then moves up an age category, they must then win 2 events in their new category before they can move up again. For example, in 2010-2011, an Under 15 junior wins an Under 15 Gold and an Under 15 Ontario Championship, he/she may then play under 17 in the 2010-2011 year. However, when he/she turns 15, he/she has to stay under 17 until he/she wins 2 of the required events in that age category.
Results from the 2010-2011 season will be used to determine eligibility for the 2011-2012 season.
Players will have to adhere to this policy each year in each age category that they are qualified to enter. The exception to this rule is when players are required by Squash Canada to play in a Core event in the under 19 age category. Players who may play up effective 1 September 2011

Our Philosophy on Fair Play
TO ALL JUNIOR SQUASH PLAYERS, JUNIOR PARENTS AND JUNIOR SQUASH COACHES
Fair play means treating everyone with respect – opponents, officials, coaches, organizers and spectators. The game of squash has always prided itself on being an example of good sportsmanship and fair play; fair play is of the utmost importance to Squash Ontario. Many years ago, it created the Jim Mason Fair Play awards which are presented to junior players who practice sportsmanship and fair play. What is Fair Play?
Sincerely congratulating your opponent after they have defeated you. Thanking the official for a job well done, even if you lost the match.
Being mature enough to know that sometimes in sports, its not that you lost the match, your opponent won.
Believe in and practice the golden rule….treat your opponents in the same way you’d like to be treated. Keep this one simple rule in mind and you will always be looked upon as an athlete who understands and honours the rules of fair play.
All squash coaches who are attending junior events will be asked to monitor behaviour both on and off the court and report bad behaviour to Squash Ontario in writing. The first report received will result in a strongly worded letter of reprimand. A second letter will result in Code of Conduct disciplinary action. We wish you as athletes every success on the courts this season. Play hard and play fair.
