Next seasons to be scheduled.


Bucks Racketball league
The club entered a team into the new Bucks racketball league (held across the summer of 2010).
The team finished the season as Champions. Final league table.



Basic rules of the game
When serving, bounce the ball once before you hit it, it can go anywhere on the front wall (as long as it's above the tin!), must pass the service line, and must bounce before the back wall, otherwise it is a fault (and you get a second serve).

After that normal squash rules apply although we there are no ‘strokes’, everything is a ‘let’, unless the ball actually hits you! (non-official ruling which has been proven to increase the fun / friendliness factor of playing).

Point per rally scoring to 11, best of 3 or 5 games (as agreed between you up front)

If the score reaches 10 - 10, a player must win by two clear points.

And finally …..
Please try and support this ladder by joining and playing some games.

We think you will all enjoy the game, it has proved very popular at other clubs, especially with the older members (what are you trying to say, Dave!) as it gives you a less intense but more body friendly workout, meaning you will be less likely to get injured and will be able to play more regularly, increasing your fitness!
