Walking Squash
Experience the rallies, tactics, and buzz of squash – without the high impact
Love the game but not the pace it demands? Then Walking Squash is for you.
This low-impact activity retains the rallies, tactics, and social buzz of squash without the sprinting.
With adapted rules and a friendly group atmosphere, these coach-led sessions are designed for current and returning players, as well as newcomers seeking a more joint-friendly way to stay active.
Low impact; high enjoyment
If the running, turning, and sudden changes of pace have made traditional squash more difficult for you, Walking Squash could be the perfect way to stay active in the game.
You can still test your timing, reflexes, and reactions, plan your tactics and strategies, and enjoy the buzz of being on court – just in a more manageable way. The rules are adjusted to encourage longer, steadier rallies rather than chasing every ball at high speed.
Stay involved in the sport you love
For many people, squash is about more than the match. It’s the routine, the changing room chat, and the feeling of belonging to a community.
Walking Squash is social by design. Sessions are relaxed, friendly, and open to all abilities. Come on your own or bring someone you know – the more, the merrier. Either way, you’ll be part of a supportive group where the focus is on connection, enjoyment, and playing at a pace that suits you.
Keep active; keep fit; keep social
As well as helping you stay connected to your fellow players, taking part in Walking Squash will help you:
Your own pace
Kind on the body
Find your way back
Keep moving with walking squash
Keep moving, keep playing and stay connected with your club, fellow players, and the wider squash community.
Frequently asked questions
Your coach or session leader will welcome you, explain how Walking Squash works, and guide you through the adapted rules, so you know exactly what to expect before you start.
They’ll help you warm up and get used to the pace. After that, it’s time to ease into rallies and games at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you. You’re in control, so feel free to take breaks whenever you need to and build up gradually.
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 kit to take part in Walking Squash – just wear comfortable clothing and trainers, and bring a water bottle.
