A news article on the play of the local Seattle squash players who competed at the US Junior Closed Championships was recently posted on SeattleSquash.
I spoke with Ayub Khan at the SAC and the Seattle Junior Open is indeed back on. I'll update the SSRA website later today and post the entry form. Thanks for bringing this to our attention Tyler and best of luck to you in the tourney!

Yikes! I'm on my way to the SAC now for a Jr Clinic and will get the scoop directly from Ayub. I did leave a voicemail but no one called me back. Stay tuned... :) ---- BlackBerry now does push e-mail with Yahoo. Why wait?
Ok, I agreed that the tournament was cancelled until yesterday (Mar. 3), when Squash BC put out a registration form for the tournament yesterday. I phoned Seattle Athletic Club (the hosts) and they said they thought it would be on.
Very confusing, anyway here is the official registration form on the Seattle Athletic Club website, as showed in the link:

I am from British Columbia, but I was going to come down to Seattle to
play the Seattle Junior Open on March 31-April 2.
I was wondering when the tournament info will be coming out and
when the entry form will be out???
Thankyou!

I posted an entry form for the Spring Pro Classic Squash tournament
both in the SeattleJuniorSquash Yahoo group under the Files link and
out on http://www.seattlesquash.com. This tournament is sanctioned by
the USSRA for all junior divisions.
The entry deadline is April 13, 2006 at 5pm.
Good Luck!
Eric
I have now taken my shy 12-year old daughter to 2 of the 11AM novice
sessions and my daughter wants to continue going. I can't write a
much better review than that. Both Shabana and Ayub are great with
the kids and the kids (novice and advanced) appear to truly enjoy
the time they spend on the court. Two thumbs up here!
The junior sessions are $10.

Good luck at the Rosebud Classic this weekend in Portland at the MAC! Mauro told me there will be at least 8 juniors from Seattle competing. Wow! I will be there playing and cheering you all on.
The start times are posted here: Start Times The draws are supposed to be posted here: USSRAilstation , but they have not shown up yet. I e-mailed Melanie and she said the draws are posted in the club and she is not sure why they have not shown up on RailStation yet. Hmmm.
GU15: Yarden Odinak, seeded #1, crushed the competition winning all matches and leaving her opponents no more than 3 points per match.
GU13: Claudia Regio finished 4th, after loosing to Olivia Fietcher, seeded #2, in the semifinal.
Surprisingly enough, this has been the first win on the East Coast for Yarden, currently #2 in the Girls Under 15 USSRA ranking. And even if some of her direct competitors were playing this tournament up in the GU17 division, they will certainly need to deal with her in March at the National Championships.
If you are a junior squash player and you're near Kirkland on Saturdays,you may want to check out the Junior Squash Clinic that Steven Furneauxholds weekly at the Columbia Athletic Club.
If you spend some time watching these kids learning from the resident coach,you have to notice Steven's professionalism, passion for the sport, patienceand perseverance. You will be tempted to join them in a heart beat!
And, if you don't want to cross the bridge too many times... Steven also teaches squash at the Seattle Tennis Club and atthe Washington Athletic Club...
Hey... what are you waiting for... ? For more info, please e-mail Steven (xcourtdrop@...).
Check out the photos from a previous Saturday posted on this site. (Thanks Mauro for providing info and photos).
Hi Juniors,
The Rosebud Junior Squash Tournament is fast approaching. This
tournament is fully sanctioned by the USSRA. Get you entry forms in by
Jan 27th.
You can download the entry form and get more details here:
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/SeattleJuniorSquash/files
Good Luck!
Eric
Sorry for posting this so late. If you failed to get signed up for the Seattle
Open, try calling
Shabana or Ayub at (206) 443-1111 x 229 in the morning to see if you can still
get in. Good
luck if you are playing in the Tournament. I hope to see you there.
I stumbled onto this great sounding Junior Clinic that Shabana and Ayub Khan
offer at the
Seattle Athletic Club Downtown each Saturday. I spoke with Shabana last evening
and she
informed me that this is open to the public. Drop-ins are OK but Shabana
strongly prefers
that you call ahead.
Here is the info published on the SAC DT website:
Every Saturday: Clinic (beginners), 11-11:30AM; workshop (Advanced),
11:30AM-1PM. With
Ayub and Shabana.

It is that easy. There is also a calendar feature that seems to work very well. I loaded the next 3 local tournaments into the calandar. This was easy to do.
So what do you think Mauro? Do you think this will serve the Juniors?
Please provide feedback if you have any. Thanks! Eric
