Why play Squash

If you’re thinking about trying a new sport, getting fitter, or just finding something that helps you switch off for an hour, squash could be exactly what you’re looking for. 

​

One thing people often notice straight away is how quickly they get into it. You don’t need to be especially fit or know all the rules to start, and you pick it up faster than you might expect.  

​

One session often turns into another, not because you suddenly become “sporty”, but because the game is genuinely fun. Once a rally gets going, it’s quick and hard to stop – you’ll find yourself wanting one more go. 

It might just be the most fun you can have in under an hour. 

Here are five reasons to give it a go. 

​

Benefits of playing

• It's easy to start, even as a beginner

• It’s great exercise that doesn’t feel like exercise

• It’s sociable without being overwhelming

• It fits around real life

• It helps you switch off and feel good

​

Ready to give it a go?
The best way to see what it’s like is to get on court and give it a go. Most of our clubs have FREE taster sessions so just get in touch. You can book a court with a mate or join a beginner session at your local club – clubs also offer one-to-one coaching or relaxed club nights. 

​

Beginner sessions are designed for people who are still learning, so you won’t be expected to know everything before you arrive.  And remember, your first session doesn’t need to be perfect. Just get on court, have a go, and see how it feels.
