Team Squash Event
2:00 - 3:00pm Saturday, Oct 15
A free, fast and fun team event that requires a bit of strategy, teamwork, and pressure on the player and the team. In a nutshell - 2 teams, 5 players each needed for about an hour:Anjo G. (5.0) and Jeff D. (3.0) have volunteered to be team captains. This is a test concept of something bigger; think multiple teams from many squash clubs. So if you don't find yourself on a team but wanted to play - don't sweat it. Check www.EvenSquash.com for sign up info or contact Anjo, Jeff, or myself.
Winners - Box of balls.
Losers - Can of Foster's that sat in the sun during the event.
There is no entry fee: just a chance to win... or lose.
