Squash South Africa falls under SASCOC (South African Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee) for multi-coded games like the Commonwealth Games.

The South Africa Men’s team – Steve Coppinger, Shaun Le Roux, Clinton Leeuw and Rodney Durbach – finished 6^th at the Men’s World Team Championships in Mulhouse, France in 2013,  which was 3^rd in the Commonwealth, but we are not regarded as a team sport like Hockey and Netball.

SASCOC’s selection criteria was that the individual athlete or the team had to be 5^th in the Commonwealth. Steve Coppinger, ranked 21 in the world, would have been seeded 6^th (with the random draw method seeds 5-8 are drawn) but sadly, Steve was not selected by SASCOC to be part of Team South Africa.

Other African Countries e.g. Lesotho, Zambia  may enter independently.
