Bermuda’s very own Spencer Moss has been hand-selected by the World Squash Officiating Committee to referee at one of the sport’s most prestigious events — the U.S. Open of Squash, set to take place in Philadelphia from October 19th to 25th.
The U.S. Open, a Platinum event on the Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Tour, attracts the top-ranked players from around the globe and is known for its elite level of competition and global viewership. Spencer Moss’ appointment marks a historic moment as he becomes the first Bermudian official ever to referee at this level of international squash.
"This is a tremendous honour for Spencer and for Bermuda," said Micah Franklin, Head of Squash at the Bermuda Squash Association. "His selection is not only a personal achievement but a reflection of the continued development of squash on the island."
As Bermuda’s highest qualified squash official, Moss’s appointment underscores the importance of investing in not only athletes, but also coaches and technical officials. His development has been supported through the Bermuda Squash Association’s Long-Term Athletic Development (LTAD) Programme, with valuable assistance from the Department of Youth & Sport.
“Spencer’s success is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and passion in turning dreams into reality,” Franklin added. “We hope his journey inspires the next generation of squash enthusiasts — both on and off the court.”
On behalf of the entire squash community in Bermuda, the Bermuda Squash Association extends its congratulations and best wishes to Spencer Moss as he prepares to represent the island at the US Open.
