Squash Leagues
The fall leagues wrap up in the next two weeks.
If you would like to play in the winter league starting in January 2018, let us know - you can play on a team every week or put your name on the sub list. 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.
TRU Squash
If you are a student interested in playing on the weekend, to have a lesson or just hit the ball around, email
info@kamloopssquash.ca or text 250-314-9600 and we'll set it up. Gear and coaching provided as needed by the KSA (at no cost).
Rides from campus to the courts are available. Drop-in fees for students are $5 on weekends.
There is a facebook group set up for students who want to connect for a game, check it out here:
TRU Squash Club.
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 again in the new year, depending on interest. Equipment can be provided for any participant as needed. Ages 7 and up.
Email us for more information or to sign up: info@kamloopssquash.ca.
