Squash & Racketball - Monthly Update

Dear [[firstname]],

I want to start by saying how delighted I and, the Squash & Racketball committee are that the Padel development was voted unanimously by the members. Squash/Racketball and Padel are compatible in several ways, particularly in terms of gameplay, and accessibility. Here why the sports go hand-in-hand:

1. Similar Court Dimensions and Layout

Both sports are played on rectangular courts with walls, which means players need to be skilled in managing rebounds and utilizing the space effectively. Though the courts may differ in size, the concept of using walls is central to both games.

2. Reflex-Based Gameplay

In Squash and Racketball you often must make split-second adjustments. Padel also involves quick reactions, particularly with its unique feature of playing off walls, creating unpredictable angles and bounces.

With this in mind, now is your perfect chance to learn how to play off the walls and be ahead of the game, with one of our beginner squash & racketball courses starting soon.
