• Important — This week, Wednesday (9/11) practice will be moved to Thursday (9/12) from 7-8pm.
• These practices will include different drills, lots of gameplay, and occasionally some agility training in order to make you guys the best squash players you can be 🙂
• We encourage you to come as often and consistently as you can, but we understand that you guys are busy so we recommend at least one practice a week! 

• We continue to have a very wide range of squash experience, including plenty of brand new players who are still learning the rules, so it’s never too late to join!
• If you are a new player and would like some one-on-one instruction outside of practice, please email me — nd35@rice.edu — and we can set something up.

• The Rec fortunately does loan racquets, but they don’t have a lot of them. This means that at a practices with high attendance, they often run out of racquets!!!
• If you are interested, come talk to me about racquet recommendations. You can get a solid racquet online or at a sporting goods store for around $40!
• Some reputable brands include Head, Dunlop, Wilson, Technifibre, and Harrow, but there are plenty of others. I personally have a Technifibre and a Wilson! 🙂

JOIN THE GROUPME!!!!! DO IT!!!

• Big announcements will still be sent through this listserv but many updates/reminders/smaller announcements will be made through the GroupMe. Email me to be added or use the QR code posted on the bulletin board by the squash courts (not posting the link to join online for privacy reasons).
• We want to foster a community and connect you guys to each other! The GroupMe is a space to share tips or send out a message on a Saturday afternoon asking if anyone wants to play a match. It’s a great resource for you so pleaaaaaase join!

Also, we’ll be having our first tournament very soon so keep a lookout for more info on that!

OKAY THAT’S IT. 🙂

Happy squashing,

Namita
