Jay and Judy Kross are thinking outside the squash court in an effort to bring something new and meaningful to their centre and its members.

One new program they're hoping to make a permanent fixture at the Parkes Squash Centre, thanks to the help of squash player and niece Bronte O'Shannessy, is a girls squad.

It's currently in a three week trial, with the last week on Tuesday, December 17, and Judy said the interest so far has been great.

"Bronte and I have discussed over the years what she would have liked growing up," she said.

"Bronte was really keen to do something."

Girls aged 10 to 18 years are invited to come along to the squash courts in Short Street and learn squash and volley squash, listen to music, finish your homework - whatever you like really.

The squad is also open to younger players who have squash skills.

The last trial day is Tuesday from 4pm to 5.30pm and it's free.

"It's about creating that safe space where they can be competitive and just be themselves," Judy said.

"We're trialling it to see what works and what doesn't.

"We've had a great response so far, especially given the time of year."

Bronte will be taking charge of the squad and coaching the girls.

She started playing squash when she was 13 and now 22, still has a hit from time to time.

"I'm excited, I've been wanting to give back to the community and the sport in some way," she said.

Judy and the team are hoping to secure some grants to run the program permanently.

"We want to keep it free," she said.

They have also applied for a grant to run one-off school programs.

They're calling it 'Squash the Stigma' and it's aimed at high school-aged boys to come play squash and volley squash, listen to guest speakers, talk and eat pizza.

"We're trying to keep it fresh, we're revamping things here after we celebrated 10 years this year managing the squash centre," Judy said.

"We're always looking for new ideas and activities."
