Event Summary
Alumni Nationals is a mixed gender individuals tournament with additional programming running alongside to bring together a large segment of our alumni community for a fun-filled weekend of squash, learning, and socializing. All SEA alumni, college students, and 2019 high school graduates (18+) are invited.
This year the tournament will be a one day event with a limited number of spaces in our tournament draws which will be given only to those players who sign up early and are really committed to competing.
Alumni Nationals attendees are not required to play squash this year, and may register instead to watch matches, participate in workshops/sessions, and attend the Saturday evening dinner, Awards Ceremony & Celebration.
Sign up for the tournament!
