Squash 101
Have fun, get fit, and boost your energy levels with Squash 101
Squash 101 is a beginner-friendly introduction to squash that gets you moving, clears your head and leaves you feeling energised from the very first session.
This low-pressure 4-6-week crash course for men and women is an ideal way to get into the game for the first time, or to come back after time away.
Making squash accessible for all
We know trying a new sport can feel like a big step, especially when you’re unsure of the rules or haven’t been active for a while. Squash 101 is designed to remove those barriers and make your first step on court as easy and enjoyable as possible.
You’ll join a friendly mixed group where everyone’s learning, trying things out and learning the game together, so there’s no pressure to know what you’re doing from day one. Come on your own or bring a friend – the more, the merrier!
Why so many people love squash
Squash is energetic, exciting and surprisingly easy to get to grips with, making it the perfect sport to try at any age. It’s fast, fun and full of moments to remember. Players fall in love with the movement, the rallies, and the satisfying feeling of connecting perfectly with the ball. It’s a brilliant way to switch off, burn off energy, and leave feeling clearer, stronger and with a more positive mindset than when you arrived.
Plus, it’s a sport where you can make progress quickly. With a little perseverance, the game starts to click. You’ll quickly read the ball better, find your rhythm, and start to understand why so many people get hooked on the buzz of squash.
We designed Squash 101 to give you the chance to experience these feelings. You’ll move, hit, miss, laugh and try again – all while having fun, getting fit and boosting your confidence.
More than just a sport
Taking part in Squash 101 is about so much more than being active. It can help you:
Build confidence
Any level
More than just exercise
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 enjoy your time on court.
You don’t need any special clothing or expensive equipment to take part in Squash 101. Just wear comfortable clothes you can move freely in and a bottle of water.
