Great time was had by all who braved the rainy weather and attended the Portland YMCA/Bates College squash team clinic. We are so fortunate to have great squash programs near us in southern Maine!
Barrett reports in on the tournament in Massachusetts: Today, 3/30, seven players from the middle school team went down to Brooks School to compete in the NEMA tournament. Most of our players were in the C division. Cole won the C division, Josh won the C consolation, and Henry won the C plate. Positive attitudes all around!
Members of the Bates College Squash teams will come to the Portland YMCA for an afternoon of exhibition, tips and pointers and casual play. All players interested in squash in southern Maine are encouraged to attend. The Bates squash teams are consistently ranked in the top 15 schools in the country. Rumor has it that Ahmed Abdel Khalek, former #4 nationally and All American, will be on hand to provide insight and tips on how to play and beat players that are REALLY good! This event is always fun and entertaining!
Thanks Pat Cosquer and Bates College for the use of your squash courts for the Portland YMCA Winter League Championship!
