Racketeers were out in force at the Santa Barbara Family Y when the local School of Squash, founded by British champion Robert Graham, opened its first squash court at the popular facility.
“We have basically been playing on the club’s racquetball courts, but with the help of $20,000 and a lot of persuasion, one of the club’s six courts has been made into a proper squash court,” says Robert.
“We hope to transform other racquetball courts in due course if it really catches on.”
Craig Prentice, the Y’s executive director, says it took a month to transform the court. “It’s a great program and we want to support it.”
All very impressive…
