Nine events in the booksâand what a journey itâs been! Our Rehearsal Tournament Series has been a proving ground, a learning zone, and a whole lot of fun. From elite Premier Division showdowns to high-energy U11 matchups, every weekend brought top-level squash, contagious enthusiasm, and standout character.
đŻ What are Rehearsal Tournaments?
In-house competitive events at SQUASHTIGERS, open to players from beginners to national contenders. Designed for meaningful match play in a relaxed yet focused environment. No ranking or rating pressureâjust squash, learning, and development. Each event guarantees a minimum of three matches per player, all wrapped up in a Saturday morning to early afternoon schedule.
đĽ Premier Division Highlights
Our highest-level players prepared for national competitions like Gold and Silver Nationals. Parth, Alex, Eric, and Claire headlined multiple events, with Coach Michael offering tactical guidance and support. Fierce matchups, polished performances, and lots of prep for bigger stagesâall within the friendly fire of rehearsal competition.
đĽ Division 1 â Rising Stars
D1 was a battleground for emerging talent. Players like Dev, Jesse, Katherine, and Riya made regular appearances and showed steady progress. Matches often went the distance, with podium finishes swapping hands as players improved week by week. This group consistently brought grit and focus to their games.
đŞ Division 2 â Grit and Growth
D2 offered some of the closest contests of the series, often filled with 3-2 matches and emotional swings. Standouts like Abigail, Matteo, Aksh, and Sahana showed resilience, huge leaps in confidence and match toughness. Whether bouncing back from a tough loss or notching their first tournament win, D2 players developed fast.
đŻ Division 3 â U11 Energy Zone
Possibly the loudest and most entertaining bracket each weekend, D3 was the heartbeat of our Saturday mornings. Ethan, Evan, Yashil, Vrinda, and Princeton are just a few of the crew we watched growâboth in skill and in squash smarts. The energy was unmatched, and the improvement inspiring. Not many 3-0s hereâthese kids fought for every point.
đ A Few Thank-YousâŚ
Special shoutout to Coach Claire, our tireless Tournament Director, who juggled draws, last-minute changes, and dozens of smiling kids with calm leadership and kindness. To all players, parents, and coachesâthanks for making this series what it is: a place to improve, compete, and enjoy the game.
đ Whatâs Next?
Weâve taken on board some feedback from players and parents, so expect to see a new, bigger and better, more refined Rehearsal Tournament Series next seasonâstay tuned for the news!
