Deerfield Academy hosted its second Open junior tournament in the new $6.5 mil Dewey Squash Center. The Center has 10 beautiful ASB courts set in a spacious viewing area, framed by large picture windows overlooking a verdant lower level of playing fields and the Deerfield River. It is a remarkable venue.

Deerfield provided not only a wonderful squash facility but additional amenities including locker rooms, Gatorade and meals in the school dining room. Parents and players alike were able to get a taste of life at one of New England’s premier preparatory schools.

94 entrants, larger than last year’s 80, made up ten divisions. Given the number of entries, number of courts and the new PAR-11 scoring system, the Mass Jr. Committee for the second year was able to run the tournament in a single day, a decision welcomed by all. Matches were done by the early evening, allowing visitors ample time for return trips home.
