ABOUT Grayson Coleman
Support Grayson on His Journey to Represent Australia
Grayson fell in love with squash the moment he stepped onto a court at just six years of age. What began as a fun afternoon quickly became a passion, and through countless hours of training, determination, and hard work, he has developed into one of Australia's most promising young squash players.
His dedication has already led to an impressive list of achievements. Grayson is the Queensland Under 15 Boys Champion and has proudly represented Queensland as a member of the Queensland State Team. He also played a key role in helping his Peninsula school team win the championship, earning selection in the Queensland School Sport Team.
At his local club, Grayson competes in the weekly fixtures competition and, by just 12 years of age, had already earned his place in Division 1—competing against experienced adult players. Recognising his exceptional talent and potential, Squash Australia selected Grayson for its prestigious Next Gen Squad, an elite development program designed to nurture Australia's future champions.
While Grayson is proud of his results, he is equally proud of the way he plays the game. He regularly receives Sportsmanship Awards, recognising his respect for opponents, positive attitude, determination, and commitment to fair play. He understands that true success is measured not only by winning, but by the way you represent yourself, your team, and your sport.
However, reaching this level of competition comes with significant financial challenges. Representing Queensland and competing in national tournaments requires frequent travel throughout Australia. During most school holidays—and often on weekends throughout the year—Grayson and his family travel to tournaments, training camps, and representative events. The costs of airfares, accommodation, tournament entry fees, coaching, uniforms, equipment, and travel quickly add up.
Despite these challenges, Grayson continues to work tirelessly towards his dream.
With squash entering the Olympic Games in Los Angeles 2028, Grayson dreams of one day wearing the green and gold and representing Australia on the world's biggest sporting stage. He knows that achieving this dream will require years of hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and the support of people who believe in young athletes.
Your support will help ease the financial burden on his family and allow Grayson to continue competing, developing his skills, and pursuing his goal of representing Australia with pride.
Every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps bring Grayson one step closer to achieving his dream. Thank you for believing in his journey.
