Women’s Squash Weekend
November 24-26, 2017
Women's Weekend Squash Event
The KSA is hosting a women's weekend tourney on the last weekend of November. All levels are welcome; there will be matches for everyone from novice to advanced players. This is a no-frills tourney with an emphasis on fun.
The entry fee is $40, which includes three matches minimum, snacks, door prizes, pizza Friday, and dinner Saturday evening.
Players can sign up online here at sportyhq, or through Alison or Dave. For more info, contact tournament chair Alison Slater or email the KSA at info@kamloopssquash.ca.
Squash Weekly League
The fall league is running on Wednesday and Thursday evenings until early December. If you would like to play, there is room on Thursday evening for team members at the beginner level, and we always need subs on both nights. Players are ranked, and play a match each week against players more or less at their own level. All levels welcome!
Email info@kamloopssquash.ca to sign up or for more information.
Squash Box League
The box league is a good option for players who can't play regularly in the weekly league, and also for anyone who wants to get an extra game in here and there. Players are placed into groups (boxes) of 4-6 players. At the end of each session (usually monthly), the top 1-2 players move up, the bottom 1-2 move down, and the middle players remain in place.
You can check out the box league
here, and if you are interested in playing, send us an email at
info@kamloopssquash.ca.
Free Online Ref Course!
In conjunction with Squash BC, the KSA is offering
Squash Canada's Club Referee Certification Course to local players. This course normally costs $29.99; thanks to funding from the Kamloops Blazers Sports Society (from a grant in 2015), we are able to offer this course for free.
This online course features high definition videos with slow-motion technology, plus downloadable course materials and links to additional officiating resources. Successful completion of the course will certify you as a Club Referee (the first level of certification in the Squash Canada referee system).
If you are interested in taking the course, email us at
info@kamloopssquash.ca and we will provide the link and the code to access the course.
Junior Squash Sessions
Junior squash sessions may start soon once again on weekends, depending on interest. Equipment can be provided for any participant as needed. Ages 7 and up.
