The Guyana Squash Association (GSA) will be embarking on a programme to increase the number of squash courts across the country and popularize the sport locally.

David Fernandes, GSA president said the association is working closely with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, to increase the number of the courts at the National Racquet Centre (NRC) on Woolford Avenue and plans are in the pipeline to resuscitate some clubs in the rural areas.  

The GSA is one of 12 sports associations identified by the ministry as part of a National Sports Academy that will receive significant support from the National Sports Commission (NSC).
