Dear NorCal Squash players,
After discussion with the league commissioners and pro’s, and following the guidance of USSquash and the CDC we are indefinitely suspending all league play and postponing the playoffs and annual NorCal dinner.
We will continue to evaluate the situation, and if possible reschedule both the remaining league matches and playoffs. We thank you for your understanding, and hope everyone stays healthy.
Emilie van der Hoorn
Chairman, NorCal Squash

The dinner is free of charge to all current members of NorCal Squash.
