The ChestMont Squash League
There's a new league in the suburbs for the growing number of new youth players.
Winter brings everyone indoors and onto the squash courts. Included in the rush to the courts is the every growing number of middle and high school squash teams. Unfortunately, there are more players than teams. So what do you do with the growing number of young new players looking for a team? You start a fall league. That’s just what they did in Chester and Montgomery Counties. The coaches in the area got together and started the ChestMont Youth Squash League.
The league is the collaboration of Malvern Prep, Episcopal, The Fairmount Athletic Club and The Berwyn Squash Club. The teams consist of beginners ages 9 to 13 years old who have not played competitively in school or in tournaments. New players get the opportunity to play on a team and at the same time improve their squash skills.
The intent of the league says Jim Snyder, coach at Malvern Prep, is to give the players who would not otherwise make their school’s team or do not have a school team, a chance to play matches in a team format. “We hope players will improve their skills enough to play in tournaments and on school teams.” They also play at a time when courts are available and coaches are not booked solid with lessons.
The league will be starting again in the Fall 2011. If you would like to find out more about the league, you can contact Jim Snyder at 610 731-9000 or e-mail Jim at jimsnyder@PhillySquash.com
