One of the fun things about our pro tournament each year is the community involvement in embracing and welcoming players of many nationalities to our city. Many players return to Rochester because of the hospitality, and in turn many people house players each year because of the positive interaction they have enjoyed on and off the court with players in the past. Our hosts enjoy getting to to know these charming professional athletes on a personal level. Many develop and maintain relationships with these players long after the tournament is over. We hope more new people can come forward and help us make our event a great experience for everyone involved!

RESPONSIBILITIES TO HOUSERS

The players will be arriving on or after April 2nd 2008 (Wednesday) depending on which draw they are in. Players need to be picked up at the airport or directed to your home. The tournament committee will coordinate the player’s arrival with you.

Players will need to be transported to the University of Rochester Goergen Athletic Center each day for their matches and provided one meal. Players will be provided a majority of their food throughout the day at the squash courts. Players will spend a majority of their day at the venue, but may ask to go back home to rest. Additional transportation will be provided to aid this process on Thursday and Friday.

If you would like to volunteer transport help in driving the players to and from the courts please contact us.
