Squash NZ's deserving Volunteer of the Month is Simon Flett from Squash City Invercargill ๐๐๐๐
Congratulations to Simon and the Red Shirt brigade on running another excellent SuperChamps National Final ๐๐๐๐๐
๐ Volunteer of the Month: Simon Flett ๐
This month, we're thrilled to recognise Simon Flett and the incredible Squash City "Red Shirt" team for their outstanding contribution to squash in New Zealand.
Fresh off delivering another successful E Grade SuperChamps National Finals, Simon once again stepped into the Tournament Controller role, helping welcome teams from across the country to Southland for a memorable national event.
Squash City has built a reputation for consistently delivering first-class national tournaments, and Simon has been at the heart of that success for many years. While he'd be the first to point out that events of this scale are never a one-person job, he is always the calm and friendly face at the centre of proceedings, tackling challenges with a smile and ensuring everything runs as smoothly as possible.
Of course, Simon is backed by the legendary Red Shirt brigade, whose dedication and hard work are a huge part of every event's success. A special mention goes to Karyn Flett, who works tirelessly behind the scenes handling tournament administration before, during, and after events.
When national events are awarded to Southland, districts and clubs can be confident they're in good hands. The Squash City team consistently goes above and beyond to ensure players, officials, and supporters are well looked after and leave with great memories, regardless of what the Southland weather might have in store!
While Simon may joke that his playing days are largely behind him, his contribution to our sport remains as valuable as ever. Thank you, Simon, Karyn, and the entire Red Shirt crew, for the countless hours you volunteer and for everything you do to make our squash community stronger.
