The CCHS Squash Team will be hosting a Fall Classic Pickleball Tournament on Sunday Nov 17th, 2019 from 1-6:00pm at the Concord Carlisle High School Gymnasium. All proceeds from this tournament will go to support the CCHS Squash Team's need for additional gear, court time and to help offset the cost for a coach. Last year we had over 23 students participate in the club. During the season, the team was able to have six (6) competitive matches against neighboring schools in MA and they traveled to compete in Nationals in CT for the first time.
