Forms for Ultimate Squash:

Please download the following FOUR forms and bring them with you to registration.

Please bring these forms with you already filled out to registration. At registration, you will review your medical form privately with the Ultimate Squash physician or trainer on call.

Arrival:

Overnight campers: Registration will take place at La Quinta Inn and Suites Hotel in New Haven between 1:00-3:00pm on the first day of camp. (All sessions begin on a Sunday, with the exception of the June 28th sessions, which begins on a Saturday). Once the campers have all arrived and settled into their rooms, we will be heading over to the gym. On the first day, we will be playing for about 3 hours (3:30-6:30pm). We will then be having dinner at one of the Yale dining halls and returning to the hotel by 9 p.m. for a meeting with the Director, Gareth Webber, about the schedule for the session.

Day campers: Either come to registration at La Quinta by 2:30pm or meet us at the Payne Whitney Gym. Please let me know if you will be coming directly to the gym so that one of the staff can meet you outside the gym, in the event that the main door is locked. Please plan to be picked up outside the gym at 6:30p.m. If you are not able to come to the first session, please e-mail me. Please arrive at the gym at 9:00am the following day. Full-day campers will be at Ultimate Squash from 9:00am – 5:30pm. If you would like to have dinner with the rest of the campers, there will be an additional charge of $20.00 per evening. Please let me know in advance if you would like to stay for dinner to make arrangements for a late pick up.

Directions to La Quinta Inn and Suites Hotel:

We will be using La Quinta’s shuttle bus to get back and forth to the Payne Whitney Gym at Yale University. The hotel is approximately 8 minutes away from the gym.

New Haven, CT 06511

Pick-up from train, bus or Connecticut Limousine station:

If you would like to be picked up from any of these locations, please e-mail me your arrival information. The La Quinta shuttle or one of the coaches/counselors will be available to pick you up. Please send me this information at least 10 days prior to your arrival.

Meals:

A continental breakfast is provided at the hotel. Lunch and dinner will be at one of the Yale dining halls (the dining hall will vary from session to session). There is an enormous variety of food choices in the dining halls (kid friendly options, vegetarian, healthy, kosher, etc.). There will also be light snacks and fruit available for the campers at the gym.

What to Pack: Clothing and Equipment

Please bring at least one racquet, glasses/goggles and squash shoes (or non-marking sneakers). Please be sure to break in your shoes before you come to camp. You can also purchase grips, racquets, goggles and shoes at the Brady Squash Center store.

It is recommended that you bring two changes of athletic clothes per day (approximately 10 changes of sports clothing), as well as casual clothing for the evening. Please bring a knapsack/bag for carrying clothes and other personal items because you may decide to shower at the gym in the middle of the day or before dinner. We will be going straight to dinner from the courts. There will be ample time to shower and change before dinner. Towels will be available at the gym.

Please bring a bathing suit with you because there is a small pool at the hotel. During some of the sessions, we will also be going to a local swim club for the evening activity.

Spending money:

Please bring spending money for evening activities. All meals are provided by Ultimate Squash, but you should bring an appropriate amount of spending money with you for the session.

Departure:

On the last day of the session, please plan to be picked up at the gym between 2-3:30 p.m. If you need to leave earlier or later on that day, please let me know in advance. Also, if you need transportation to the train, bus or limousine station, please e-mail me your itinerary at least 10 days in advance of your arrival. We will be checking out of the hotel in the morning, so you will have all your belongings with you at the gym for your departure.

Any questions or concerns? Please call me at 203-927-0450 or e-mail me at gareth@ultimatesquash.com anytime.
