It has come to Squash South Africa’s notice that the correct WSF accredited protective eyewear is not being used.
For doubles and for players under 19 the correct eyewear MUST be used. All players under 19 – whether in or out of school – MUST wear protective eyewear at ALL tournaments/league matches.
Provinces/Tournament Organisers PLEASE enforce the use of the accredited eyewear .
Particularly concerning is the use of the eyewear bought at hardware stores – a plastic shard in someone’s eye and perhaps the loss of that eye is worth a lot more than the price paid for the eyewear .
In the United States everyone including coaches are not allowed to step on the court if they do not have protective eyewear on.
Here is the list of approved eyewear: WSF Approved eyewear 2018.

Please do not confuse readers with an outdated Liz Addison notice of 2018,this confuses readers/members/coaches.We have found in the past that SA squash sent out negative reports especially from Liz,to clubs that P360 is not aklowed ,despite our product beong accredited by WSF.We struggled to get approval from SAS especially at school level and it has taken almost 3 years since then for Liz to send out a notice for P360 accredtation.Yet SAS still places a 2018 list in 2022.Please be aware that P360 eyewear was accredited by WSF in 2019 and therefore will not appear on your list in 2018,please update your list of accredited eyewear to 2021/22,as eyewear is updated year on year at WSF.Kind Regards Zak Gordon(Ceo Protec 360 eyewear)
