Squash Yukon

Squash Yukon is the official sports governing body for squash and its players in the Yukon and is mandated to promote the growth and development of the sport.

The Squash Yukon Executive, a volunteer board comprised of seven members, works to develop and implement programs and policies aimed at promoting an environment in which players can enjoy the sport of squash and ensure its continued growth in the Yukon.

Programs

Lessons

A structured lesson program has been developed by Squash Yukon to insure that players taking up the sport have the opportunity to progress through a series of lesson programs that are matched to the players level of skill and competitiveness. Check with the facility's squash professional to determine what suits you.

See the section on lessons for detailed information.

Tournaments

Squash Yukon promotes the participation in squash through the sponsoring or sanctioning of a number of tournaments each year. The aim of this is to provide players with an opportunity to play with both local and visiting players in a friendly but competitive environment. It is hoped that these events help players evaluate their development and introduce players to new opponents.  

See the section on tournaments for detailed information.

Item of Interest
'Standard' rackets are governed by the rules of the game. Traditionally, they were made of laminated timber, with a small strung area using natural 'gut' strings. After a rule change in the mid-1980s, they are now typically made of ceramic materials (graphite, kevlar and the like), usually with synthetic strings. Modern rackets are 70 cm (27 inches) long, with a maximum strung area of 500 square centimetres (approximately 80 square inches) and weigh between 110 and 200 grams (4-7 ounces).
