Baking, roasting and reveling... We're all giving thanks for the holidays, but not the pounds we tend to put on. The Chatham Club is here for you, with special holiday hours, one-day guest passes for family and friends, and a gift-shopping opportunity that will make you feel good!
When you come to the Club this month you can help feed New Jersey's hungry, join the fight against pancreatic cancer, and support our personal trainers in their effort to change the face of men's health. Find out how to participate below.
Please join us in congratulating Geoff Mitchell, our head squash pro, on being named the U.S. Olympic Committee National Coach of the Year. Congratulations also go out to personal trainer Andrew Krasovsky and Club member Robin Fera for their recent successes in bodybuilding and figure competitions, and to personal trainer Darren Worts for another successful 100-mile run.
The owners, managers and staff of The Chatham Club wish you and your loved ones a very Happy Thanksgiving!...
In good health!

Geoff Mitchell - USOC Coach of the Year Award
Squash pro Geoff Mitchell was honored last month with the United States Olympic Committee National Coach of the Year Award. Dent Wilkens, the senior vice president of operations at US Squash, presented Mitchell with the award on the ASB GlassCourt at the 2016 Delaware Investments U.S. Open.
Mitchell, the head pro at The Chatham Club in New Jersey, has been a stalwart teaching pro for more than a quarter century. A top player himself, often ranked nationally as high as #1 in his age group, Mitchell has developed hundreds of juniors into national champions and intercollegiate team and Team USA members. Since 2012, he has been the board chair of StreetSquash Newark, the New Jersey-based urban academic mentoring program.
Mitchell has been a key visionary in American coaching. Beginning in 2013, he has been one of seven regional coaches helping guide the creation and implementation of the US Squash regional squad structure. In January 2015, Mitchell led the US Squash-sponsored American team to the British Junior Open.
US Squash has given out the USOC National Coach of the Year Award since 1998 when Paul Assaiante first received it. Other winners include Demer Holleran, Mark Allen, Adam Hamill, Natalie Grainger, and last year's winner Jim Stephens.
Congratulations, Geoff, we are so proud of you!
