Squash at Rice can feel a little male-dominated. In honor of International Women’s Day on Sunday March 8th, I would like to invite you all to Squash the Gap, a women’s-only squash clinic on Monday from 5:30-7:30pm at the Rec. This is a great opportunity to try squash for the first time and come have some fun with the gals!

Happy February everyone!
This semester our practice time has changed to Tuesday at 7pm. Practice is mostly focused on working on skills and technique through drills, with some match play and agility training worked in.
I am also happy to introduce a new program:
Every week, get randomly paired with a new opponent. You have one week to play the match and the results aren’t reported – the aim is just to play more matches! Email me (nd35@rice.edu) to enter the pool.
It’s a great way to sharpen up your squash skills before our Spring Tournament, which is coming up soon!

Hey squashers! We will be having our first tournament of the year starting Saturday, October 5th. The tournament will take place over the course of a couple of weeks, depending on how many people sign up. Fill out this form if you would like to participate and I will create a bracket from all those who are interested. https://forms.gle/pggz6Sjqo8MUeLkk8
Then, I will send you the following information: who you are playing, their contact info, and when you need to play by. Matches are self-scheduled and self-refereed. As soon as the match is played, match results should be sent to me so I can update the bracket!
I will also send out some materials about the rules of the game so that everyone is on the same page and you guys can self-referee effectively.
Contact nd35@rice.edu with questions.

JOIN THE GROUPME!!!!! DO IT!!!
Welcome back and get excited to play some squash this fall! We will be having two kickoff events this Saturday (08/31) from 2-4pm and Wednesday (09/04) from 6:30-8pm at the Rec squash courts.
No experience is necessary! This will be a opportunity to just come out, hit the ball around, and get to know each other. If you have a racquet, please bring it. If not, no worries – you can borrow one from the front desk!
Looking forward to squashing with y’all this year! 🙂
