Squash 101 - Women
Have fun, get fit, and meet like-minded women in our women-only squash sessions
Squash 101 – Women offers women just like you a fun way to stay active, meet new people, and feel good.
Over four or six weeks, this beginner-friendly course will teach you the basics of squash in a relaxed, friendly environment where you can build confidence, move more, and enjoy trying something new.
And it fits easily into a busy lifestyle; you don’t need to overhaul your routine, make a long-term commitment, or join a club to take part.
A women-only space where you can thrive
We know how challenging it can be to start something new, especially when life’s hectic and you’re worried about feeling out of place.
Squash 101 – Women keeps sessions simple, social and welcoming.
You’ll be part of a group of women all learning the game from scratch, so there’s no need to worry about not being as good as everyone else or about how you’ll compare.
There’s no pressure to keep up, compete, or compare yourself to anyone else. It’s all about moving together, learning together, and feeling comfortable enough to come back for more.
Much more than just a sport
Squash is a fun, flexible sport that’s easy to start at any age or experience level, and the benefits go well beyond the court. Taking part can help you:
Good for body and mind
A sport for every level
Meet like-minded women
A place to move, learn, feel good
Throughout the programme, you’ll hit, move, miss, laugh and try again, building confidence through small wins along the way.
And you’ll discover why squash keeps people coming back: the fun of moving around the court, the excitement of a long rally, and that satisfying feeling when you connect perfectly with the ball.
Come on your own or with a friend; do the whole session or just start with a few minutes; and take breaks whenever you like: there are no expectations and no pressure to perform at Squash 101 – Women.
Instead, you’ll discover a safe, encouraging space where you can ask questions, make mistakes, learn at your own pace, and celebrate your success without judgment.
It’s not about getting everything right. It’s about enjoying the game, boosting your mood and energy, and discovering what you can achieve. And, because it’s played indoors, you can enjoy it whatever the weather.
Frequently asked questions
During your first session, the qualified coach or session leader will show you around the venue and the court. They’ll then introduce you to the basics of the game, help you get used to the racket and ball, and guide you through a series of fun activities, including rallies and games.
This is as much about socialising as it is about sport, so there will be time to chat, ask questions, and connect with your group. You don’t have to just turn up, play, and leave – we want you to make the most of your time on court.
You don’t need any special clothing or expensive equipment to take part in Squash 101 - Women.
All you need is some comfortable clothing, your trainers, a water bottle, and a willingness to give it a go.
