Squash
at Oakwood
Oakwood is proud to host a
very active squash playing community. A variety of programs are offered,
including an in-house league, teams representing our Club in the East Bay
League, adult and youth instruction and drill sessions, mini-tournaments,
special events with other clubs in the area and private lessons. There are
three premier glass-back wall international-size courts at Oakwood within
the gymnasium.
In-House League
Oakwood’s in-house league sports five Divisions from Novice to A Level,
each with up to 10 players. Formal sessions are in the fall (September
through early December) and winter (January through late April) and feature
Round-Robin play ending with a single-elimination tournament. An informal,
handicap session takes place over the summer months. To join or seek
information, enquire at the Activities Desk or contact Jose Alonso at
JRAlonso@lbl.gov
East Bay League
The East Bay Competitive Squash League features team matches between
seven clubs in the East Bay with active squash programs. Matches for three
Divisions are played Wednesday evenings throughout the fall and winter
months. Playoffs occur at the end of the season between the top teams in the
East Bay, Peninsula, Marin and Sacramento leagues to determine the overall
Northern California Champions. In 2005 the Oakwood Division II team won it
all! To get more information or join a team, contact the Activities Desk or
