About Squash

Fast-paced, exciting and great for fitness, squash is a game that challenges both your body and your mind. Played on an indoor court with two or four players, it’s all about quick reactions, strategy and keeping the rally going as you hit the ball off the walls.

Whether you’re completely new or already a regular on court, there are plenty of ways to get involved at Sportspark.

  • Squash coaching with David Youngs – perfect for improving your game and building confidence.

  • Social Squash evenings – meet new people and enjoy friendly matches.

  • Squash leagues – test your skills in a fun, competitive setting.

Or, if you’d rather just play your way, book a court and get started whenever it suits you.
