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.

Have questions or just want to get the ball rolling, use our on-line form.

Club Championships Lost Entries

2008.04.11 09:46

Due an error on my part, the on-line entry system for the Club Championships was not, for a significant period of time, e-mailing the entry information to the club e-mail account as it was supposed to. And, unfortunately, only dinner ticket requests were recorded in a separate file.

Entries submitted on, or after, April 3rd, 2008 and before, approximately, 9:30 AM Friday, April 11th, 2008 are affected.

This means that all those entries must be resubmitted. The error has now been corrected. So, if you submitted your entry on-line on or after April 3rd and before 09:30 this morning, please resubmit as quickly as possible, or contact Adam Radziminski or Scott Sibley with the pertinent information.

My sincerest apologies to all, especially the organizers, who are now going to be put under extra stress to get the doubles matches scheduled for Monday.
