We are pleased to announce that the SFC Junior Squash Tournament (sponsored by Generic Electronic Solutions) shall take place on Saturday, 18 June 2011! The idea is to expose our young and upcoming stars to a competition-type environment, while having fun on the court.
Therefore, we would like to also group juniors into three categories: (i) Beginners, (ii) In-Between and (iii) Playing Fairly well. We know that this is rather subjective however we would like each junior (parents to assist) that enters for this tournament to provide us with some indication of category / strength. Obviously, we shall consult with the Coaches when we make a final draw for the day.
Juniors that want to participate should officially enter on the Entry Form (find copy attached) by the closing date, 10 June 2011. The Entry Form is on the Notice Board at the Courts! This shall give us some indication of interest and would also allow us to complete a proper draw. We shall communicate the format of the tournament closer to the time, depending on the number of entries that we have.

This past weekend saw the inaugural SFC Four Seasons Tournament. It was a tough format, with each match lasting 25 minutes with no breaks in between. Suffice to say that at times the season it represented most was East Wind, what with all the huffing and puffing going on!
In the end team Autumn came out on top, narrowly taking it from the other 3 seasons. Congratulations to team captain Wynand and his hard-working troops; Dirk, Mara, Jurgen and Desiree. Well done all of you. a Huge thanks also to Conrad Wagner for doing a tremendous job organising the tournament and ensuring that everything runs smoothly!

Boy do we have fantastic news for you - The ladder is back by popular demand! Sarel and Wynand Labuschagne from Kesla Kitchens were kind enough to restore the SFC Squash Ladder Wall-Mounted Box for us and our intention now is to ensure that our ladder / club rankings remains current and a true reflection of actual squash playing strength at any particular time. Thank you Sarel and Wynand for your time, effort and passion!!
Ester made name tags of all SFC Squash Members and shall insert the name-tags into the slots in the box so that the men’s- and ladies ladder reflects current playing strength from the strongest player at this time (Number 1) to the most developing players. The initial ladder is determined from the matches played during 2010 and hence this shall form the basis for all challenges going forward.
PLEASE FIND ATTACHED THE LADDER CHALLENGE RULES!
Please familiarize yourself with these rules and keep our ladder current and a true reflection of playing strength by challenging players for positions as per the attached rules. We need to remind each other that squash is a competitive sport in nature and therefore we would like to encourage healthy competition within the spirit of fair play and integrity at all times.
This system can only work if we as members keep on challenging and depositing the scores into the box. We shall update the ladder as per the scores submitted on a weekly basis.
