In-house doubles — Notes
VLDSL using Evergreen court this Thursday, from 6-9 PM. 9 PM court time open for web booking.
Looks like the rainy season has set in; which, only puts more fools on the highways and byways. Aggravated, of course, by the ceaseless road construction. Please let Lynn Broman know if you wish your in-house doubles profile or preferences to be adjusted. Player preferences, as used for this week's schedule, are available on-line.
Be in touch with those in your foursome and avoid no shows.
If any groups decide not to play, please notifiy Rob Forrest, or Dana Merritt so that the court may be freed for web booking.
If you are unable to make your match, you are responsible for arranging a replacement. Lynn doesn't mind giving a hand in the search; but, it is your responsibility.

Evergreen Squash Club — Fun Fast Fit
Extend your squash life!
An Evergreen Squash Club membership is one terrific value.
Been playing singles for a few years, and starting to feel a little slower, or not quite as youthful. Perhaps, not quite as fit as one once was. Then, I believe, doubles squash is what you are looking for.
Still fit enough to get on court, have good racquet skills, and able to anticipate your opponent's next shot, then you have what it takes to become a good doubles player. If you have always depended on your speed to compensate for your less than stellar skills, you should likely avoid the doubles court.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much enjoyment you will get out of the game. Don't have a doubles court at your club? Join Evergreen, either as a full member (so you can keep playing singles), or as a "doubles only" member, and keep the membership at your current club.
