Kampala Club Ltd joined the global squash community in celebrating World Squash Day 2026 on Saturday, October 10, bringing together young players and members of the squash fraternity to promote the sport and highlight the importance of grassroots development in Uganda.

Held at the club’s squash courts under the theme “Rally for Squash,” the celebration highlighted the passion, talent, discipline and sportsmanship that make squash a unique sport.

The event was organised by Kawooya Micheal Raymond, a professional squash player, coach and squash development ambassador in Uganda, whose continued involvement in the game reflects his commitment to promoting squash, nurturing young talent and encouraging more children to participate in the sport.

Through the celebration, Kampala Club Ltd emphasised the importance of grassroots development, youth participation and creating opportunities for young people to learn, compete and grow through sport.

Young Talent Takes Centre Stage

Young squash players were at the centre of the celebration, with photographs from the event capturing Coach Kawooya Micheal Raymond alongside a group of children at the club’s squash courts.

Armed with their rackets and dressed in colourful sportswear, the young players represented the potential of the next generation of Ugandan squash talent.

Their participation highlighted the importance of introducing children to squash at an early age, providing structured coaching and creating opportunities for regular practice and competition.

Activities of this nature help young players develop technical skills, improve physical fitness and build confidence, discipline, teamwork and sportsmanship.

For Kampala Club Ltd, investing in young players is an important step towards building a stronger squash community and preparing future athletes to represent the club and Uganda in local, regional and international competitions.

Through coaching, mentorship and organised activities, the club provides a platform for young players to discover their potential and develop a lasting interest in squash.

The celebration also highlighted the importance of collaboration in promoting squash in Uganda, strengthening youth programmes and creating a positive sporting environment for players of different ages and abilities.

As the organiser of the celebration, Kawooya Micheal Raymond demonstrated the role that committed coaches and sports leaders can play in promoting squash and inspiring the next generation.

His involvement with young players reflects the broader importance of supporting grassroots programmes and creating opportunities for children to learn and participate in the sport.

By bringing young players together to mark World Squash Day, the event reinforced the message that the future of squash depends not only on established competitors but also on the children learning the game today.
