Samoans training as squash referees

The Samoa Squash Association is working with the Oceania Squash Federation on training and accreditation. 

"Our aim is to have seven locals complete their assessments during the Games and receive Oceania Referee accreditation," said Carol Kawaljenko, Executive Officer of the Federation.

Samoa does not have qualified referees to an international level, so the federation funded a two-day training course, run by Chris Buckland from New Zealand.

The course was a success with more than ten participants from the Samoa Squash Association.
