Leah Desbarres
Leah has been one of Ontario’s Top 10 Women squash players for the past decade. Her love for squash began 30 years ago as a young girl when her family joined the local squash club. Leah has competed in tournaments across Canada as a top Junior, then at University and now as an adult. She has won dozens of sanctioned tournaments and was Canada’s #1 Ladies A Player in 2008. Leah began coaching squash in 2006 and is currently a trained Provincial Coach (Level III). She and her husband met at a squash tournament and now live in Fergus with their two children.
Jake Doering
Former club owner Jake Doering has been a constant fixture for decades here at the club. To say he knows his way around a racquet is an understatement. A master of the soft touch and creative shots, he has used his craftiness to maintain the highest level of play and an even higher level of instruction. Jake has thousands of hours of teaching experience and has coached some of Canada's top squash players including two U19 National Champions.
