YMCA squash players needed

[Steve Holmes]

Hello YMCA squash players,

As some of you may know, for the past couple of years our YMCA has entered a team into the National Capital Squash league to play against other squash teams in the DC area. It’s now coming up to the start of the winter season and we need you so that another Y team can
carry on our record of (very mixed!) success.

We are planning to enter a team in division 4 so that means games on a Thursday evening at around 7pm. There is no expectation that you have to play every week as we’re looking for a minimum roster of 7 players (ideally more) and only 4 players actually play each week.

If you’re interested or think you might be interested, please send an email to stevem...@gmail.com over the next few days. We need a minimum of 7 players to enter a team and we need to register our intent to play within the next couple of weeks.

Below are a few things that I think you might want to know but please check out the NCS website (http://nationalcapitalsquash.org/?page_id=3707) or send a message to the Google group (or me directly) if you have other questions. Please also tell others that may not be on this list.

Hope to hear from many of you soon

Steve Holmes



Questions I could think of:

When are the games? Thursdays at around 7pm from November to March

Would I have to play every week? No. We need 4 players each week but we’re looking for a large roster of players to choose from (we need a minimum of 7 on the roster to enter the league)

What level is it? There are 6 divisions in the NCS league system and division 4 is toward the lower end. I would say it’s intermediate player level

What’s in it for me? Take your pick: improve your game, meet new people, get to play on international courts, get to play at a fancy club (that wouldn’t normally let you in the door), etc, etc

Do I need to be a member? You need to be a member of National Capital Squash to play in the league. It costs around $90 a year and you get some additional benefits with your membership

Are all the games at the Y? No. We play against different teams in the area so some weeks we’ll be at home and others we’ll be visiting other teams (which tend to have nicer courts!)

What’s the deadline to sign up? Soon. We need to confirm that we have a minimum 7 person roster within the next couple of weeks

Hi Steve,

I'd like to join the Y team.  I'm an intermediate level player.  Besides joining NCS, what else do I need to do?

Thanks,

Jamie

Steve,

This is to reconfirm my involvement with the league for the third (or fourth) consecutive year!

Folks on the squash list..the league is a great way to get some good squash games in and also to improve your game..plus all the good things that Steve highlighted. I highly recommended it.

Steve, I'm in! I regret that I did not participate in the last round, but that must have improved our team's prospects :o))   Adel --- On Fri, 10/5/12, Mughees Butt <mug...@gmail.com> wrote:
