President
Badminton turned squash player during NS days in the early '80s. Been playing for the past 20 years, first with Ulu Pandan Squash team and then Mariner Pioneers. Retired in '99 due to injury. Last grade was B. One of UCSC's pioneers. Squash is appealing because of its discipline and commitment in order to excel in it. A productive way of keeping fit in a short space of time. |

A late starter in the game but no less a fanatic than any other, I first played competitive squash in 1986 and has been involved with the game ever since. Since joining UCSC this year and meeting with the best bunch of squash maniacs that one can ever hope to run into, my enthusiasm has been fanned even further and I can only see good things happening at UCSC, Singapore's Premier Squash Club! |

Club Secretary
I have been playing squash since 1986. Started as an assistant secretary with the national squash association in the early 1990s, learned squash administration from former secretary's Major Haridas Nair. I am delighted to be a management committee member of UCSC, the biggest squash club in Singapore. |

Club Treasurer
I started playing squash in 2000, to replace my daily run on the treadmill. I was introduced to UCSC in 2004. As a beginner, UCSC has shown me that it is really a "Squash4All" club. Not only do I get to play some games at Singapore Polytechnic, I get to play with similar level players as well. Of course the friendly environment will make any new member feel welcome. Hence when I was approached by the Committee to be the Treasurer, I had absolutely no reasons to turn them down. Hopefully with the efforts that the Committee puts in, UCSC will scale new heights on the squash scene. |

After 8-9 years away from squash since 1988-96, I finally came back to play after meeting a new bunch of squash enthusiats namely Joseph, Kelvin, Alfred and Andrew in the Intercon tournament.But what make me continue to play is the friendly,caring and enthusiam shown by members of OUR CLUB to promote not only squash but friendship among the sporting arena. From the formation years of UCSC and my subsequent appointment as Disciplinary Chairman, till now I am glad to announce that todate no disciplinary action has been taken against any club members. I am proud of this record not because of the existence of this post but proud of our fellow members self-discipline which made this post seem rather unnecessary. '..... ...CARING for our fellow members in every aspect of our game and life is the best discipline I hope we can achieve .............' |

Started playing squash after moving into Orchid Park in 1994 mainly to get some fitness for my first love in soccer! Never in my wildest dreams that after playing socially with fellow residents and subsequently helped to form UCSC with the Bishan Park squash "die-hards", this game and the club has given me an opportunity to meet some really nice and friendly people! Absolutely no regrets and urge any squash beginners and/or enthusiasts to "look no further" than UCSC!! |

I started playing squash during the 70's. The love of the game continues to grow with me and my family. Through squash, I have made many good friends. As a result of such interaction the idea of forming UCSC was started and eventually bore fruit. My next commitment to the game is to see my two sons Marcus and Hansel playing a high level of squash and building UCSC into the most popular squash club in Singapore. |

Became a squash enthusiast in the early ‘80s. Stopped playing when the squash centres closed down one by one in the late ‘80s and my ‘kakis’ turned to golf. I introduced the game to my boys 3 years ago and was delighted when I chanced upon the UCSC group at Yio Chu Kang in 2006. We’ve been playing regularly ever since, made many new friends and are extremely glad to be a part of this fantastic family.

Being an obese kid from birth, fighting the flab has always been my way of establishing self-esteem and sense of belonging. First picked up squash during my teenage years with my childhood friends in early 90s as part of my fat-loss regime. Without any guidance or professional training, I was pleased to be one of the better players amongst my childhood friends although they may be fitter or slimmer than me. Sadly, as we grew older and moved away, I no longer had friends to squash with. However, my resolve to develop an impressive physique compelled me to pick up other forms of exercising like swimming,cycling,jogging and a lot of gym. With all due humility, I won the coveted Manhunt (Male Pageant) Title in 1999 and representing Sngapore in Manhunt International 99 in Manila Phillipines and bagged the Mr Physique sub-titles in both National and International event, ranked 12 out of 45 for the latter.Slowly but surely, I found my way of staying fit too solitary and monotonous. That was when I decided to rekindle my interest in squash and enhance my social life by being with people who share the same interest with great passion. Through the internet, I found UCSC in 2004 and has been the most frequent player (5to6times a week) ever since. I believe I have improved my game tremendously and most importantly made great friends and developed better discipline with life through a sport that I love. Always amazed at how good and fit the old players are and is inspired to being squashing beyond my golden years. Squash for All-- Thanks to UCSC !!!

I was first married to badminton for many years in the 80s and then in recent years found myself having an affair with squash after I stumbled into this UCSC website. Keeping this affair going is no easy task as it demands total dedication and requires plenty of sacrifices. Occasionally things do get out of hand and I will suffer from aches all over my body when that happens. On the positive side my waistline has been shrinking since the affair started. That's why this whole affair thing is so exciting to me in the first place. Come on down and join us to - "SHED YEARS FROM YOUR AGE AND ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE ". |

I was introduced to squash (incidentally my first racquet game) in 2002. 5 years, 14 rackets and 4 stitches later I think I count myself as a die-hard squash fan. The adrenalin of a soccer match, the delicateness of a golf putt, the power of a tennis stroke, the endurance of a marathon, the strategy of a chess game...it all comes together for me in one game - squash. I picked up all my squash from the stalwarts at UCSC particularly Alfred who spent hours trying to drill some squash sense into me. This warmth, friendliness and a genuine desire to help people develop themselves via squash is what makes UCSC so special. I am delighted to be able to give back to the game and the club both of which I have come to love so much. |

"I have been playing squash since 8 years of age. Really love the game as it helps me keep fit. However, as the years creep up on me, it takes more and more effort to keep pace with the game." |
