Dartmouth Squash Facilities

Members of the men's and women's squash teams make full use of Dartmouth's athletic facilities, for both competition and conditioning. The facilities include:

* 5 international courts

* 7 North American singles courts

* 1 North American doubles court

* The Carla and John Manley '40 Varsity Training Center in Alumni Gym

* The Kresge Fitness Center in the Berry Sports Center

* A six-lane, 200-yard polyurethane indoor track in Leverone Field House that was resurfaced in December, 1994

* An eight-lane, 400-meter track inside Memorial Field that was also recently renovated and resurfaced

The squash courts at the John W. Berry Sports Center give Dartmouth College one of the finest racquet facilities in the nation. Dedicated on November 21, 1987, the courts are the home for both the men's and women's intercollegiate teams at Dartmouth.

The Racquet Center features the Herrick Court, one of only three permanent international exhibition courts in North America with three glass walls. That court, along with four others, was converted for international play in the summer of 1994. The College is currently developing plans to increase the number of international courts to 10. In addition to the five 21-foot courts, the Berry Center houses two American-sized courts and six racquetball courts. The building's architecture is one of its most striking features, as a large skylight brightens the interior and gives the building and the squash court area an expansive feel.

Since its opening as one of the premier squash facilities in the country, Dartmouth has hosted the men's and women's Intercollegiate Singles Championships three times -- in 1988, 1991 and 1997 -- as well as the national junior championships three times, most recently in 1996. Men's and women's professional tournaments and several exhibitions and clinics have also been held in the Berry Center.

In addition to the Berry Center, Dartmouth also boasts Alumni Gym, which is connected to Berry and houses five American courts as well as one doubles court.

Annual events take place at Dartmouth, including the Ian Paine Memorial Tournament for collegiate players, the Foliage Junior Tournament and two regional USSRA-sanctioned events -- the Snowflake, which is played the first weekend in January, and the Mud Bowl Tournament in May.
