History The Squash Rackets Association was founded in 1928, to take over the administration of the game from the Tennis 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 for Scotland and Wales passed to autonomous national associations. The English SRA and Women's SRA amalgamated in 1989.
The SRA was the recognised world authority for squash until the formation, in 1967, of the International Squash Rackets Federation (which became the World 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.SLAM is squash winner, Manchester Evening News 7 October 2008 Long-term chief executive, Nick Rider, left in 2014England squash chief to quit and in 2015, the racketball name was dropped from its title.New logo ushers in era of hope for squash in England, says Keir Worth Squash Mad, 18 November 2015
