Gary Waite Junior Squash Tour - Windsor Tour Stop


On Sunday December 13/09, thirty-four of the best junior squash players in southwestern Ontario were in action at WSF as the Gary Waite Junior Squash Tour made its Windsor stop. The Gary Waite Junior Squash Tour is a series of five one-day tournaments hosted by squash clubs in southwestern Ontario. Named in honour of Sarnia's Gary Waite, a former world squash champion, the inaugural tour is proving to be a success in developing the next generation of squash players in this region.
In the 13-and-under division, Ross Ferguson of London defeated Laura Drope of Sarnia to claim the title. Ferguson is a repeated champion as he won the tour's Sarnia event on November 22/09. Colin Curran of Windsor emerged victorious over Sarnia's Thomas Valade in a tight match to take 3rd Place. In the Bronze final, Olivia Waite of Toronto won a close match over Amin Khan of Windsor. Khan had earlier played a hard-fought match with A.J. Greuning of Windsor to make the consolation final.
The 14-and-over division Winner Jakes Stables of London defeated David Mill of Windsor in the finals. Daniel Merlano of Sarnia defeated Nicola Crich of London to take third place. The Bronze final was won by Allison Sparham of Sarnia.
Other WSF Juniors in the field included Myles Mayer, Mitchell Deehan and Berto Mill.
The next event is in Clinton on Jan 17/10.

Squash Tips!!!!

Play and practice regularly, not sporadically. Playing or practicing once a week can help you improve. Playing or practicing three times a week, or every other day, will help you improve much more quickly.

Keep learning and set goals for improvement. You can always get better at squash since it is a very deep game. Set yourself some challenging goals, and then define some achievable milestones along the way to your goals.
