Squash Court 1 Issue

To all Squash Yukon members,

It has recently come to the attention of Squash Yukon that the floor of Court 1 is uneven and requires some maintenance. Court 1 is next to the large garage doors. As the courts themselves are the property of Better Bodies, Squash Yukon cannot maintain or repair the courts, so it has brought the issue forward to Better Bodies management and they are looking into what needs to be done. In the meantime, and pending any required corrective measures, Better Bodies has posted a “Use at Own Risk” notice. 

Until the Court 1 maintenance issue is resolved, Squash Yukon will not be booking Court 1 for our programming and recommends that members not book the court for their box ladder matches or other matches due to increased risk of injury. Squash Yukon is communicating regularly with Better Bodies about the issue and will update members with any news.
