About The Association

Competition in the New England Interscholastic Championships. The New England Interscholastic Squash Association (NEISA) is the organizing body of boys' squash among independent schools in New England. The Association welcomes all squash-playing schools that are members in good standing of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC). There are currently thirty-eight member schools in the Association.

The NEISA runs a championship tournament in late February. In the championships, players from each school accrue team points in seven flights, each with consolation draws. There is a strong emphasis on participation in the event: players are guaranteed a minimum of three matches over the course of the weekend and most play more. No competitors are eliminated from the three-day tournament before the final day of competition. In 2008, St. Paul's School won the Class "A" team title and St. Luke's School won the Class "B" team title.

At the end of each season, the Association awards the Brandes Trophy in recognition of the team with strongest dual match record in the regular season. The NEISA also sponsors Team Sportsmanship Awards--one for the north/east region and one for the south/west region--given to the squads best exhibiting standards of fair play and sportsmanship throughout the season and the tournament. In 2008, the Brandes Trophy was won by Brunswick School and the Team Sportsmanship Awards were won by Choate Rosemary Hall and St. George's School.

The NEISA is governed by a five-person Executive Committee. Four members of the Committee are elected from among the coaches of member schools; the Association's Executive Director serves on the Committee ex officio. Each February, coaches elect one representative from the north/east region and one from the south/west region to serve two-year terms on the Committee. Members of the 2008-2009 NEISA Executive Committee are: Ned Gallagher (ex officio); Jon Goldstein (Loomis Chaffee School); Kirk Randall (Phillips Exeter Academy); Tim Richards (St. George's School); and Tote Smith (Salisbury School). The Executive Committee is charged with overseeing the championship tournament--including seeding and making the draws--as well as standardizing rules, procedures, and practices for the sport during the regular season.

Ned Gallagher is the Executive Director of the NEISA and has run the New England Interscholastic Squash Championships since the 1986-1987 season. In addition to his work as a squash coach, Mr. Gallagher is a teacher of history and English and the Director of Athletics at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut.
