Squash Courts

Squash courts are public indoor courts where people can practise and play squash, either professionally or for exercise. They are available for hire to those who are keen to pursue squash sport and for those who want to improve their squash game.

Squash involves physical fitness along with strategy and racquet skills as players hit a small rubber ball onto the opposite wall to gain points over their opponent. Squash courts are small enclosed courts, often with a glass wall or a viewing balcony, and are specialised to the game’s requirements; it’s not a game you can play on a tennis court. Squash courts are staffed with experienced players, who can offer or recommend coaching and training, and squash accessories and equipment available for purchase. Most courts have existing inter-club fixtures.

Professional squash players practise at these courts, as do casual and social players. In-house and pennant squash competitions that can include individual, graded and mixed games are also held in squash courts. Squash courts are available for casual or more permanent hire, and rates vary on the frequency and players’ requirements.
