Summer League 1.0 Finals
The finals for our Summer League were held this past Tuesday at SACD. We'd like to thank everyone for their participation. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we very much hope to run the Summer League again in 2018.
We'd also especially like to thank the PRO Club and Seattle Athletic Club for letting us use their courts for the Summer League. Without them, this wouldn't have been possible.
Washington State Open Results and New Doubles Court
In big anticipation we opened our new show court at the Seattle Athletic Club Downtown the past weekend with a bang. The all glass doubles court that converts into a singles court is the only one of its kind in the world.
We were privileged to have two pros from South Africa and Egypt here who gave a few doubles clinics. The clinics were followed by a great and entertaining doubles exhibition in which Team North consisting of Omar El Kashef and Tatu Murronmaa won by one point against Team South with Clinton Leeuw and Annelize Naude.

The finals for our first Summer League will be held on Tuesday August 15th at Seattle Athletic Club, Downtown. The following teams will be playing:
1 vs. 2 - Team Butt vs. Team Awadalla

We'd like to thank Tatu and Annelize from the Seattle Athletic Club for running this event. It was something we will definitely do again!
After squash, we headed to the Pike Brewery for our end of season party. There, we enjoyed lots of socialization, food, and of course, a few drinks!
