5. 2018 Alberta Jesters OPEN - Calgary, Alberta
November 8th-11th, 2017
2017 Tournament drawsGeneral:
This is a Squash Canada Identified event. The Jesters Event will draw kids from all the western provinces and territories. Last year we had competitors from P.E.I. and Ontario competing. Primarily our strongest Provincial players will travel to this event. Categories are U11, U13, U15, U17, U19 for both Boys and Girls. there is a further division of each age category into levels of play with OPEN or B level of play. It is not suggested that players travel to the Alberta Jesters unless you are competing in an Open Draw. If you are a B player there are other tournaments locally which provide a better competitive environment. I suggest the Victoria Silver hosted at Cedar Hill this year.
