Squash, tours and the third half
Squash, tours and the third half
About us
The Classics are a nomadic group of squash players and members of historic clubs from the Buenos Aires interclub scene. Inspired by the British nomadic clubs, we gather to keep the interclub spirit alive beyond the court.
Once a month, a different club hosts us. Matches are played best of three, with no winners and no rankings — the real point being the asado and the third half. What started in 2015 between members of a handful of clubs has crossed the Atlantic three times with the Apostles — London in 2019 and 2025, Spain in 2023 — and in April 2027 welcomes the Swans to Buenos Aires.
The clubs
Each with its crest, its tradition and its court. All meeting at the same asado.
