College Hardball Event Registration Extended to Wednesday & Jahangir Hardball Video

March 24, 2018

Due to recent requests, the college hardball registration date has been pushed back to Wednesday, March 28. We hope this helps many of you still coordinating with your team.

We are expecting a large turnout.  29 college players are already confirmed from 8 different schools. We will be capping participants, so try to get your reservation in soon.  All are welcome to attend and try out this great game!  There is $240 stipend per player and several meals included, see the link below.

As always, if you have any questions, or if there's any way in which I can help your team join us, please contact me.

Sincerely,
Christopher Gsell
Captain – Carolina Squash

to sign up for the Chapel Hill Hardball Tournament (April 6-8). If you or any of your team would like to play, please register at:

We know many of you might still be on spring break. If you need more time or are still signing up more players, please contact me.

We are very excited for the tournament weekend here – this will be the first collegiate hardball tournament since 1993. Playing hardball will be a fun change from the softball we all grew up with. The ball bounces more and the pace of the game is faster, all while using the same equipment as softball – racquet, goggles, and shoes. Once you register, hardballs will be sent to your school so you can give it a go before April 6!

Here's a documentary about the legendary Jahangir Khan making the switch to hardball in the 1980's.

The squash begins at minute 1:50.

Hopefully it gives you a little taste of the action to come!
