Corinne Cormier hit her first squash ball on Wednesday and was playing in the local tournament that weekend.

Fourteen people came out for the tournament, which was the second in three weeks.

Organizers of the Inuvik Squash Club have long been trying to build its exposure in the community. Participation tends to ebb and flow with people coming to and leaving town, but the start of winter until spring is usually the main season.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 fun, quite a good aerobic workout, lots of great people playing and theySA国际影视传媒檙e very patient to teach you,SA国际影视传媒� said Cormier.

She said the rules werenSA国际影视传媒檛 hard to learn, and the refs behind the glass help remind players when balls are out or whoSA国际影视传媒檚 serving next.

John Dempster has been playing for about a year now.

SA国际影视传媒淚 like it,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淚 prefer chasing a ball around a court than going to the gym. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 a little more fun.SA国际影视传媒�

He thinks heSA国际影视传媒檚 improved, at least a hair, since he started playing, adding that it gets more difficult to acquire new skills with age.

SA国际影视传媒淚 try and get my kids out once a week to play too,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 good because any skill level, any age can come play, hit the ball and have a good time.SA国际影视传媒�

Katie Boyd won the beginners' tier, with Britney Selina winning the intermediate level and Grant Convey taking the advanced bracket.

Cormier is already trying to talk some friends into coming out on Wednesdays.
