Squash BC is excited to be launching Wheelchair Squash 57 next week at the Cheam Leisure Centre in Chilliwack, BC. As part of our Wheelchair Squash 57 Pilot Program – which is generously supported by grant funding from Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities – we will be introducing this exciting new version of squash to participants who previously could not take part in our sport!
We were thrilled to host a Try-It day in Chilliwack a few weeks ago, where more than a dozen participants tried Wheelchair Squash 57. Now, with a weekly Learn to Play program starting next week, we can’t wait to see how our participants progress.
The Learn to Play Program is running Thursdays from 4-5pm from March 21 to April 18 at the Cheam Leisure Centre in Chilliwack. The entire 5-week session is only $20 per participant (tax included). Sport chairs, racquets, and all other required equipment is provided for participants. There’s still time to register!
