PSA Showdown at Bay Club Redwood Shores by Kim Clearkin July 16, 2014
- Bay Club Redwood Shores is excited to host its first PSA Closed
Satellite event this coming weekend. Sponsored by Tatleaux de Pera
Solar this tournament brings together the previous 3 winners of these
tournaments and is sure to serve up some entertaining and high quality
squash.
Joining previous
winners, Charlie Johnson, Chris Hanson and Jesus Camacho is Cody Cortes
who is a "local" transplant from Boston. A recent graduate of Milton
Academy. Cody has family and a home in SF and is spending part of his
gap year training in the Bay Area.
Smaller prize money
PSA events provide opportunities for young players to gain valuable
ranking points as well as experience that will help them ultimately
move into larger $5K tournaments rather than having to rely on local
and wildcard spots. Another advantage is that they give high-level
junior players a chance to gauge their own ability by allowing them to
enter the professional events as amateur players. Local juniors,
Gabriel Morgan and Cole Becker, are entered in the PSA event this
weekend.
Running alongside this weekend's PSA event is a Junior Silver tournament sponsored by NorCal Squash.

homes per project.
