The US Squash Women's Team Championships, aka the Howe Cup, is the country's largest squash event for women -- and the most fun! The singles tournament pits teams of five players from a city or region against other teams from across the country and Canada in A, B, C and D draws. And since the new Specter Center has two doubles courts, expect there to be doubles draws, too.

There might be challenge matches to determine rosters and/or their order. And while every effort will be made to place you in the division you desire, this is first and foremost a team event, so final determination of the rosters will be made by the team captains and Boston organizers.
There is also the possibility that not every Bostonian will play for a Boston team. However, you're sure to have a terrific weekend no matter which team you play for!
And don't worry if you've barely - or haven't - played in eons. This is the perfect event to jump start your game!
