The 2019 season of the Kent Racketball League will begin in late January and I invite your club to enter a team or teams.

The league plays on alternate Wednesdays over much of the year, with a summer break. The format is 4 singles matches and 2 doubles matches; each match is played to three games. The players are ranked in order of quality and play the singles in order but the doubles can be played by any pairings.

Presently many of the playing teams are located in West Kent but I am willing to run a separate East Kent league if there is enough interest.

The cost of entry is £65 per team.

Please reply to Jack Clay by email to bevjack23@aol.com,
or by post to 3, The Gorse, Manor Park, Chislehurst. BR7 5QD
or telephone 020 8295 1412.

Thank you,

Jack Clay

There are two funding pots available from the SE Regional Projects – participation and performance.

Participation is the larger pot of which £2000 have been allocated to each of the Regional counties inc. Kent. Prior to having any payment made the participants email addresses have to be entered on the ESR website participation portal with the log in page being –

Then input info as instructed. The target areas are – Squash 101, Squash 57, Squash Girls Can and Junior 101. The participants do not have to be ESR affiliated, as it is an exercise to increase participants and hit target figures set by Sport England, which will then enable access to future funding.

The Performance pot is set aside for counties to ask Aspire / National coaches to assist with certain squads. Kent recently had Jez Colton of the Aspire coaching team help out with our High Performance Squad which has been paid out by the Region. C
