Hey there members .....
The BSRA once again invites its members and the wider squash playing public in Barbados to let us know what you think we should be doing more of by sending your comments / opinions / constructive criticism to the Secretary, Jeannette Cullen, at squash@olympic.org.bb
A new survey will be up and running shortly.
Welcome...
A warm welcome to all squash players (and non-players), and a special welcome to overseas visitors who are interested in the fabulous game of squash.
Of course, Barbados is known more for its perfect white beaches, crystal blue waters and everlasting sunshine than for squash, but it is here you'll find a committed and fun-loving bunch of squash enthusiasts who play hard and party equally hard.
Now if you don't know anything about squash, try to imagine two people chasing behind a little black rubber ball traveling at over 100 m.p.h. in a totally enclosed room. Players must be extremely fit, highly coordinated and able to react like a cat - it is indeed a "physical chess game" of sorts.
So, welcome to the official BSRA Website. Hopefully it will get updated more often than you visit. :) But either way, please enjoy!
Photo Invitation...
If you have any squash-related photos taken while in Barbados, please feel free to e-mail them to us (agill@sunbeach.net). If we publish them, we will give you full credit for the photo and buy you a beer. Promise!
