Entry Fee - R250.00 pp
Entry Closing Date: 10 November 2023
What it’s all about
Two well-known rival squash districts from KZN,
Coastal District, (which includes Dolphin Coast, South Coast, Toti, Crusaders
and Westville) and Upper Highway District, (which includes Kloof, Gillitts,
Midlands and Northern KZN), each comprising 100-player squads, will compete
against each other in a non-stop challenge of 50 hours for Charity. The first
game will start at 13h00 on Friday the 15th December 2023 and the last
game will end on Sunday the 17th December 2023 at 15h00.
How it works
Over the 50 hours, 200 players (100 from each district)
will step onto one of two courts and play an opponent of similar strength from
the rival district, for one hour, thereby having multiple squash games run for
50 hours straight – a one-of-a-kind squash event in the world! 4 quick water breaks of
30 seconds each are allowed. Players will make as many points as possible in an
hour, for his or her district.
The Points tally will start at 0 when the first
game commences on Friday afternoon.
At the end of the 50
hours, both districts’ points will be added together, to calculate how many
points were scored over-all.

We need you
This charity
event aims to give back to the less fortunate for Christmas. All proceeds from
the entry fees, sponsors and selling of training sessions with professional
squash players will be donated.
We need your help – we need buy in from
companies to successfully raise as much as possible for Charity. So, how can
you as a company participate in this unique event and assist in raising money
for Charity?
We are asking companies to sponsor per point.
50c, R1, R5, R10. The overall points, scored from both teams will be multiplied
by the amount per point specified by your company and that will be the
company’s contribution.
So how may points can one score in 50 hour you
might ask?
Well, Last year the total points score on one
court over the 50-hour period was 9365 points.
So how much is your company be willing to bet
on a point. 50 cents, R1, R5, R10,…?
This is a unique, first of its kind Charity
Fund-raising event show-casing the talent of players of different skill levels,
with exhibition games by world class South African Professionals, food and
drinks, training and upskilling and a whole lot of fun. AND most significantly, money will be raised
to support a worthy cause.
Let’s pull together and make CHARITY THE
WINNER this Christmas!
We look forward to your participation in this
exciting venture.
