Women’s Squash Clinics at Portland Y

Holly Parker will offer Women’s Squash Clinics at the Portland Y this Spring on alternating Tuesdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.. The clinics are an opportunity for us to play and learn together and grow the women’s squash community here in Maine.

The first two clinics on April 1st and 15th will be free with the hopes that we will build interest and momentum. Subsequent clinics will be offered at $14/members and $34/non-members. Loaner equipment is available. This is an all-ages, all-level clinic.

Please contact Holly at holly.parker74@yahoo.com with any questions. Spread the word and help us build women’s squash here in Maine!

Big shout out to Marilu Fortson and Barrett Takesian for their efforts in making the first every middle school squash event a reality! Many happy and enthusiastic kids from Brunswick, Maine, Portland, Maine and Lawrence, Mass participated in a giant round robin friendly match at Bowdoin College this past weekend.
