Squash BC is excited to launch a new Division 3 for the upcoming season. The new division will play on Thursday evenings and is designed for both new doubles players and players looking to further develop their skills for playing in the Thursday league. Players will be eligible to play in both the Wednesday and Thursday leagues, but should be players regularly playing in the 7 or 8 spots in the Wednesday league.  Division 3 will operate as mixed teams where the team captains will draft their team rosters during this year’s pilot season, similar to how the Thursday Women’s League operates. Matches between October and December will take place at both Hollyburn and VRC, with venues being flipped in January to April at Vancouver Lawn and Evergreen.  If interested in joining the new Thursday Division 3 League, please visit the Leagues Club Locker Registration Page for more information.
