The United States National Doubles 2024 Championship was provided in Philadelphia over the weekend of March 1, 2 and 3rd and it was a great time.  There were close to 160 participants and about 30 represented Baltimore and Baltimore had some strong showings. As a matter of fact this year was the largest number of teams in the event history.  It was fantastic to see the continued growth of Doubles Squash as COVID had a negative effect on squash – so this tournaments results is very positive and shows Squash is coming back very strong – yea yea yea.
