All three championships will take place at the National Squash Centre, Paul’s Avenue.

Newly elected president of the SVGSA – Kevin Hannaway disclosed that special emphasis will be placed on the St Vincent and the Grenadines junior open.

As precursor to the OECS championships, the SVGSA will hold local competitions as well.

Set for March 15 and 16, is the national junior championships, with the senior championships slated for May 7 to 10.
