- Monday to Thursday 4:15 to 7:00 pm.
- Fridays 4:00 to 6:00 pm.
- 10:00 to 12:00 and 3:00 to 5:00 during interterm (Jan. 4-24, 2011).

The first 15 minutes of practice is to be supervised by the captains. Athletes are expected to be on the court ready to play (with shoes, racquets & eyeguards) at the EXACT start of practice. The penalty for being even 1 second late is 100 touches (in under 6:00 min.) for each 5 min. or part thereof. Make up of any missed time (justified or unjustified MUST take place within the Wed. or Thurs. Rec Squash/Racketball Evenings 7-8:30 unless alternate arrangements are made in advance with Tim).
