World Squash Day – October 14th!
World Squash Day is coming up on Saturday, October 14th!
This year, Squash Nova Scotia is partnering with Decathlon Dartmouth to host World Squash Day at Mic Mac Mall. We will have an inflatable squash court at Decathlon between 2-6pm for anyone to come by and try squash. Invite a friend, test your skills topping the rally leaderboard, and win your way to some prizes courtesy of Squash Canada, Dunlop, and Decathlon Dartmouth.
If you aren’t able to come to Dartmouth, here are some other ways you can participate:
- Invite a friend to play at one of the twelve facilities in Nova Scotia with squash courts
- Grab a racquet and drop by a local drop-in
- Take advantage of the Squash Nova Scotia discount on your SquashTV subscription and watch your favourite matches
