2016-17 U.S. Squash Hardball Singles

This year's 12 tournament Hardball Singles Squash season is underway in Santa Fe, NM with the 2nd Annual Kiva Open. The list of this season's events is given below and of note is the National Hardball Championships which will be February 24-26 in NYC. An April tournament has also been added for college players and to initiate the newly renovated University of North Carolina Hardball Singles courts.
 
Several of the tournaments will be played on the wide courts with the Austral ball that has become increasingly popular.
 
US Squash encourages squash play of all types, on all available courts.  A Nationals Task force has been appointed by the US Squash Board of Directors "to review the current criteria and standards for national championships and divisions," including US Squash's sanctioning of Hardball Singles National Championships.
 
The Hardball Singles community is self-supporting through contributions that can be made to the US Squash Hardball Squash Singles Restricted Fund by check to the Fund sent to US Squash, 555 Eighth Avenue, Suite 1102, New York, NY 10018-4311 or you can donate -- on line -- at  http://www.ussquash.com/give/donate/.
