Squash
What we do
We have a small but enthusiastic group of squash players at the Club who welcome players of all abilities. We will match you with players of a similar ability whether you are a veteran of the sport or a total beginner.
What equipment do you need?
There is no specific kit for squash, but shorts and a sports shirt are the norm. It is very important that your footwear is non-marking (clear or white) indoor court shoes. We do not allow black or coloured sole shoes and nor do we allow outdoor or running shoes.
The club recommends that players should use eye protection when playing and observe the safety guidelines issued by England Squash. However, eye protection is expected to be used by juniors (U18) and for doubles.
Rackets and balls are available for hire, but most players will normally purchase their own after a few outings.
Club Night
Club night is drop in session available to all. It is on Monday evenings and you will meet men and women of all ages and ability. To join a club night all you need to do is put your name down at the bar and the next available player will play you. Each game lasts about 20 minutes and you should get a minimum of three games in the evening. For those requiring more additional games can be had.
Coaching
The club provides team training on Tuesday evenings 6-7pm and Junior coaching 5-6pm.
These sessions are run by the club coaches:
