Tournaments:
Annual Club Tournament:
This is held in the second semester. The date for this tournament is publicised near the beginning of this semester. Anyone can enter and there are some great prizes for the winners.
Uni Games:
A graded team usually goes to uni games annually. This year it would also be good if we can organise at least one ungraded team. The games are in Otago and costs are subsidized by VUWSA. If you want more information please e-mail the club and we can keep you informed.
Leagues:
If there is enough interest we will organise some student squash leagues. These leagues give members the chance to play proper games and meet new people. Court time will be put aside on Friday club evenings for league games or else league members can organize games at a time that suits them. There will be prizes for league winners.
