Jeremy loves to play squash. For those of you who aren't familiar with the game, it is similar to handball or racquetball in that the game is played in an enclosed court. However, the equipment (racket and ball) are different. He began playing in August 2008 in "D Grade" when he realized that all the other sports in Fiji are outdoors in the tropical sun. Uncle Doug's courageous battle with melanoma made an impression on our blue-eyed blond son who decided it was not worth the risk to continually expose his fair skin to the merciless Fiji sun.
Jeremy was quickly bumped up to the "C Grade" and won his first competition in May 2009. He was then promoted to "B Grade". He trained hard, sought advice, and kept challenging himself to play more experienced players, although he lost most of the matches.
December 2009, Jeremy played in the "B Grade" competition.
He won the semi-final and moved on to play a nail-biting final,
And Jeremy won! Jeremy was promoted to the "A Grade" in his squash club. Well done, Jeremy!
