US Squash Announces 2024 World Team Championships Squad

US Squash has announced the eight men and women set to represent Team USA at the 2024 WSF Men’s and Women’s World Team Championship, December 9-15, at the Hong Kong Football Club.

The 2024 World Team Championships make history by hosting the men’s and women’s team competitions together for the first time, after previously hosting them on an alternating biennial basis.

The U.S. squad will be led by the Ganek Family US Squash Head National Coach Nick Taylor, who is set to lead Team USA for the first time in a major competition following his appointment.

"Focusing on the process—preparation, mutual support, work ethic—while maintaining ambitious goals is our focus," Taylor said. "While becoming world champions remains the ultimate goal, having these core principles helps maintain team spirit and development even during challenging events like the World Team Championships."
