News about squash (the sport) in Arizona and nearby
It is holiday time in most of the world, and for most squash players, so getting out of squash shape or staying in good squash shape is a concern for most committed players – no matter what level they play at. To help squash coaches understand detraining click this link for a concise summary I am going to go over a real example from my Smith College Squash Team.

The Phoenix Motor Company’s Mercedes Benz Holiday Racquet Tournament will soon be here! The tournament date is December 16th – 18th, starting at noon on Friday. Once again we will be doing an Olympic format and will be taking 64 entries only.
Village Racquet and Health Club – Phoenix
ONLY 24 PLACES LEFT SO DON”T DELAY YOUR SIGN UP. Entries close Dec 1st or when sign ups are full
Remind you of the format, you are guaranteed 3 matches and to win the money it will take 5 matches. Although you sign up by ratings , the draws get merged to make 2 draws of 32 so you might find yourself not where you think. Basically there will be an A and a B division Those of you who played this last year enjoyed the format.
Please make sure you know we need to start from noon Friday.
All entrants must be done on-line only. Please secure your spot early so you’ll be able to participate in Arizona’s premiere holiday racquet sports tournament. If you do need to withdraw for any reason, refunds will be issued up until the closing date of December 1st.
Again for those of you who played in this last year, you know it is an event not to be missed! Your entry fee includes squash, lunch on two days, and a “goodie package” which includes a dri-fit style shirt, snacks, gatorade, beer tickets and, of course, prize money at all levels! Sign up today!
FYI there is also a racquetball and tennis tournament running alongside the squash and you can play in 2 events
Thanks, Tina
