MACCABI VICTORIA
Bright start for squash club
Squash at Maccabi Victoria is on the rebound. The first season of 2022 is about to come to an end for the newly re-established Maccabi Victoria Squash Club.
There have been encouraging signs of increased interest in registration, and also coaching sessions. It’s hoped this trend continues in the coming months.
Squash, being indoors, is a brilliant sport to play throughout winter.
If anyone is interested in playing competition squash for Maccabi, which begins next month, or playing social squash with the club, contact Justin on 0400 551 611 or email jsfulop@gmail.com
ATHLETICS

There will be additional athletics coaches on hand to share tips on sprinting, middle distance running, jumping, shot put and discus, plus a specialist javelin coach.
Come and give athletics a go.
