California Squash Tour 2005

CALIFORNIA SQUASH TOUR 2007

with

CHRIS WALKER and BEN OLINER.

You are invited to join National Squash Chris Walker and Nationally ranked player/Coach Ben Oliner on a tour of California. The 10 day trip is scheduled around the Pacific Athletic Club Junior Open in Redwood City (approximately 20 miles South of San Francisco) and The San Diego Junior Open, at Chris Walker’s own squash club in San Diego. Both these tournaments are USSRA sanctioned events and will count towards the 2007/2007 season’s ranking. It’s a great way to take the pressure of the season by competing in 2 of the required 4 tournaments before the school year even starts.

In addition to the coaching assistance camp members will receive during the two tournaments, there will also be over 20 hours of scheduled practice and training time with the coaches. Training days will take place at The Pacific Athletic Club, StanfordUniversity and The San Diego Squash Club. The tour will also include some great tourist activities in both San Francisco and San Diego.
