The World Team Championships happens every 2 years and
this year, 2005, it is being hosted in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The US team will consist of 4 squad
members that will compete against teams from all over the
world for the title of
World Team Champions.
It’s a tough week of squash with one or 2 matches in
a day. Each team consists of 3 players so, in any given tie,
the winning team is the first to win 2 of those matches.
It’s crucial to have the four Squad members to share
the work through the week, resting when possible, in order
to be in the best possible shape for every match.
It’s a huge team effort. Through the course of the
week we can expect anything from tiredness, injuries, stiffness
and potentially illness to be hurdles to overcome.
The US Men’s team will be decided by the players individual
performances over the course of the 2005 selection event
series which culminates in the playoff weekend at Dayton
Squash Club, OH, from Oct 5-8th 2005.
Of the top 6 players in the grand prix selection ranking,
the top 2 win a place in the squad by right and the remaining
4 play off for the last 2 squad positions.
The team leaves on Dec 5th 2005, Islamabad bound. The competition
is the 8th-14th. Watch this website for results and team blogs to keep you in the picture!
In Squash,
Chris Walker
Team Coach.
