The Victorian Masters Squash Association (VMSA) is dedicated to promoting squash among players aged 35 and over, offering a platform where competition meets camaraderie.

Established in 1980, VMSA has been at the forefront of fostering a vibrant community of squash enthusiasts through well-organized tournaments, league competitions, and social events.

Our History

The Victorian Masters Squash Association (VMSA) was established in 1980 with the goal of providing squash players aged 35 and above with a platform to continue competing while fostering lifelong friendships through the game. The founding members envisioned an inclusive environment where players could enjoy competitive squash while being part of a supportive and social community.

In recent years, the VMSA reduced the playing age for Women to 30 years and over in Pennant and Tournaments only. The qualifying age for tournaments such as the Victorian, Australian and World titles remains at 35 years and over for both men and women.

The VMSA continues to run its own Pennant competition and Tournaments based on the ‘Masters Philosophy’.

Our Mission

At the Victorian Masters Squash Association (VMSA), our mission is to provide a competitive yet inclusive environment where squash enthusiasts aged 35 and above can continue playing the sport they love while building lasting friendships. We are dedicated to fostering sportsmanship, encouraging participation at all skill levels, and promoting a lifelong passion for squash through well-organized tournaments, social events, and community outreach initiatives.

The VMSA prides itself on its ability to provide a friendly, competitive way to play squash. You can be as competitive as you want as long as you play with good humour and commitment for the enjoyment of the game and of everyone present. This is what is known as “the Masters Spirit”
