St. Louis, Missouri – January 12, 2026
The Spirit of Saint Louis Squash Foundation announced today its National Players of the Year will receive a wildcard invitation into the RC Pro Series PSA Singles Championship to be held in St. Louis on April 22 to 26, 2026.
That weekend, the Foundation will also recognize the 2026 winners of the National High School Squash Awards at its Fifth Annual Gala.
Each year, in conjunction with US Squash, the Foundation honors the top male and female high school players, including the National Players of the Year, the East, Midwest and West Regional Players of the Year, and the St. Louis Players of the Year. At its expense, the Foundation hosts these players and their families for an exciting weekend culminating at the Gala when their perpetual trophies are presented.
The “Watch List” for the 2026 National Players of the Year:
• Isabella Tang (VA), Savannah Moxham (CT), Charlotte Sze (MA), and Diya Yadav (CA) for the women’s award, and
• Yaseen Shalaby (NY), Jack Elriani (PA), Hart Robertson (NY) and Lars Gertsen (FL) for the men’s award.
Foundation Chairman Craig W. Ashmore said “the Foundation is excited to reward the National Players of the Year with a wildcard invitation into the RC Pro Series PSA Singles Championship.” He added “the Foundation cannot wait to host the National High School Squash Awards and share the weekend with the players and their families.”
