Squash
Dear Parents and DSJ Squash Players,
Due to time constraints Thomas Helmrich can no longer continue to assist with the Squash AG. We thank him for his efforts over the past year.
Training:
With effect from the second term, I have taken over and trust the group of 20 to 25 squash players is having fun. With the help of our coach Devan Currie, from the University of Johannesburg, we are going to improve our skills and technique. Our gratitude goes to Mr Jan van Wyk, our Deputy Principal, who allowed Mr Currie to help us.
Teams:
After numerous player challenges, our teams that have been entered into the squash league, are currently made up as follows:
BOYS UNDER 15 SUPER LEAGUE:
Dino Leidenberg
Alex Scriba
Luca Leidenberg
Tomislav Popov
Anthony Ryan
