Evergreen Squash Club — Fun Fast Fit

Extend your squash life!

An Evergreen Squash Club membership is one terrific value.

Been playing singles for a few years, and starting to feel a little slower, or not quite as youthful. Perhaps, not quite as fit as one once was. Then, I believe, doubles squash is what you are looking for.

Still fit enough to get on court, have good racquet skills, and able to anticipate your opponent's next shot, then you have what it takes to become a good doubles player. If you have always depended on your speed to compensate for your less than stellar skills, you should likely avoid the doubles court.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much enjoyment you will get out of the game. Don't have a doubles court at your club? Join Evergreen, either as a full member (so you can keep playing singles), or as a "doubles only" member, and keep the membership at your current club.

Have questions or just want to get the ball rolling, use our on-line form.

Evergreen Summer Doubles Tournament Summary

Over 70 people participated in the Summer Doubles Squash Tournament this year at Evergreen Squash Club July 20th - 22nd attracting competitors from as far away as Mexico City, New York and Toronto.

Though the weather was a little wet it did not put a damper on things. Squash was not the only event as we also had the Grouse Grind Challenge for CHILD (raising over $340.00) and, new this year, a golf challenge on the 20th.

The results are available on the web site.

I would like to thank Hollyburn Country Club and The Vancouver Lawn Tennis and Badminton Club for the use of their court.

Also the following sponsors/contributors: Freybe Sausage, Happy Planet Juices, Black Knight, DaKine Sport Packs, Ryders Sunglasses and Evergreen Squash Club.

I would also like to thank those individuals that come out every year to help – Marv Mizinski, Kevin Johnson, Richard Dustan, Lynn Dustan, Lynn Broman and Tim Martin. See you all next year.
