An Evergreen Squash Club membership is one terrific value.

Through squash you will join an energetic and social community, make new friends, develop, or improve, your racquet skills, and very likely, get a lit bit fitter. Yes, their is a learning curve involved. But, with a bit of coaching, and the help of the community you will find yourself enjoying the game in no time.

Vancouver Doubles Squash League
2007–08
The League
Evergreen participates in the Vancouver Doubles Squash
League, along with Hollyburn Country Club, Vancouver Racquets
Club, Sport Central, and our cross-town rivals, the Vancouver
Lawn Tennis & Badminton Club. These five clubs set aside
their doubles court each Wednesday of the season, typically
October through April, from 6 PM to 10 PM for league play.
Over the last couple of seasons, the league has been
modifying its structure to accomodate a new club, Sport Central,
and to try and make the league more accessible to players at
all skill levels and gender.
This season, 2007, teams were reduced to two pairs (four
players per night), and ranked into 4 divisions. Div 1,
comprising mostly open level players, being at the top of the
heap.
I believe that this year we have more women playing in the
league than ever before. With the addition of Sport Central last
season, we have also seen more mixed pairs participating. So,
there is progress towards at least one of the goals the league
set for itself when reorganizing.
Ruth Castellino, a member at Vancouver Lawn, has also been
organizing a 'Ladies Only' doubles league over the last few
seasons.
So, there is little or no reason any doubles player, who wishes
to do so, can not participate in intra-city league play.
Join In
Any members wishing to participate should contact Tim Martin.
Please note that a current Squash BC membership is required in
order to participate in the league.
Schedules and Results
For the 2007 season, the Vancouver Doubles Squash League
contracted with Quick-Draws.com to manage scheduling the
season's matches, and to provide for the recording and
displaying of results on-line. This is the same system used by
the Vancouver Singles Squash League.
Unfortunately, the system was not written to consider the
vagaries of scheduling doubles matches and/or tournaments in
the Lower Mainland. The key one being the limited availability
of courts and court-time for the total number of matches to be
played.
So, Lynn Broman, taking the Quick-Draws schedule as a starting point,
applies his considerable creativity to finalize the 'official'
schedule for each night of the season. These 'official'
schedules are made available on the Sport Central web-site in
two formats.
The first is the weekly schedule as developed by Lynn Broman.
The second provides the same information by
club and 'cycle'.
You can also check out match results and the current
standings at the two sites. Just follow the menues.
