Training and free-play
Every Wednesday from 18:15 till 22:00 our trainer gives us a great training! After some warming up, we do different exercises and often end the trainings with matches against each other. We have people of all levels, so everyone can play on their own level and get better. Squash balls and rackets are available at the trainings. Since there is a maximum of three people per court, you are guaranteed to get to know the trainer and he'll know you, giving you advice based on your playing style.
After every training, we get a weekly drink with each other in the Sports Pub at the Bongerd!
Every Friday from 16:45-18:15 we also have some courts booked, during which you can do some free-play with your fellow members! A great way to end the week without worrying if a court is still available ;)
Tournaments
We organise several squash tournaments every year withing the tournamentcie. These are available for all levels! Beginner to expert, after which there often are some drinks or dinner at someone's place. A great way to improve your squash game and enjoy the people from Ballistic!
Apart from that, at Ballistic you get the opportunity to partake in exclusive external tournaments, such as the annual Battle fo the Cities, giving you the chance to represent Wageningen, or the GNSK. We are also often invited to open tournaments from other student squash associations, or the club championships at the local squash club (Squash Ede)
Activities
Throughout the year, the Activity Committee organises fun activities for all our members!
We strive to have at least two fun non-squash related activities per period.
Some staples are squasherklaas, the new years drink/bonfire, and the end-of-year barbecue.
Check the ‘activities’ tab for pictures of our previous activities!

Since we are a relatively new association and still growing, a lot of activities can be added during the year. Do you have great merch ideas, plans for activities or thoughts about getting more people to join Ballistic? There's a comittee with like minded people just for that!
