Squash & Racketball - Monthly Update

Dear [[firstname]]

“I’m too old.”
“I’m not fit enough.”
“Everyone else is better than me.”

These are some of the reasons people often give for not trying squash or racketball.

In fact, I was chatting to a female member recently about her experience of playing squash 20 years ago. She told me she hated it.

Not because of the sport itself — but because of how it made her feel. She felt pushed into the leagues, was getting beaten most weeks, and said everyone took it far too seriously. In the end, it just wasn’t fun.

To be honest, it made me a little sad — but I understood. Years ago, squash could feel like that.

But it doesn’t have to be like that anymore.

Since I arrived here over four years ago, my message has been simple:

Give it a try. Have fun. Don’t take it too seriously.

You don’t need to be super fit.
You don’t need to be competitive.
You don’t even need your own racket — we have plenty you can borrow.

My role as Head of Squash & Racketball is simply to welcome you, encourage you and help you enjoy being on court. I’ll help you choose the right ball, show you the basics, and make sure your first experience is a good one.

You’ve all paid to be members of this fantastic club, so why not explore everything it offers — Squash, Racketball, Tennis, Padel, the Gym, Gym Classes and the Bar & Restaurant.

You don’t have to be the best.

You just have to give it a go.

Come down, say hello, pick up a racket and have a hit. No pressure, no expectations — just a bit of fun.

Because sometimes the hardest part of squash or racketball…

is simply walking onto the court for the first time.

If you’d like to give it a go, why not try one of our

Beginner sessions:
?? Squash Beginners – Monday 7:00–8:00pm
?? Racketball Mix-In – Tuesday 6:30–8:00pm

No experience needed. “If you’d feel more comfortable bringing a friend for your first session, please do.”
