Box League Blues

This month (October) the Box League is quite challenging! September had 42 players and as is typical we’ll lose a few. What is not typical is the HUGE number of players returning. This month there are 22 players new (or returning) to the league.

Boxes will change radically… 1 and 2 are pretty solid but from 3 down there will be lots of changes. Those 4 boxes will morph into 7 boxes. Fun, fun, fun!!!

Since the box league will probably not be posted Wednesday it might be a good time to review the FAQ located here.

Bates College announces new 4 wall glass squash court

Bates head coach Pat Cosquer has formally announced the expansion of the Bates College Squash Center. A 4 wall glass court will be added to the existing 5 courts. The new court will be the first 4 walled glass court in Maine and will feature state of the art LED lighting. This particular court has traveled around the country and has been used at most of the major professional squash events in recent years. It has been in Grand Central Station in New York and at the Boston Symphony Hall for the Squash Showdown events. The floor, back wall, tin and lighting are all new and configured for its new permanent home at Bates College.
