Whether you’ve never played or had limited experience, we have a fantastic programme to help you learn the game and get started. Squash is a fantastic sport to keep fit, have fun and challenge yourself and we have a structure in place to help you improve and settle in at the club.
We have a large racketball section at Abbeydale with over 10 leagues and many social mornings and evening sessions. From beginner sessions, to club training or social mornings, we have activities for all levels and ages.
We run beginner leagues for players with little experience. These leagues provide an opportunity to meet other players of a similar ability and play against them in a relaxed and casual environment. They provide new members with a non-intimidating avenue into the club and help to introduce new players to each other.
We also have a friendly list, for players who are wanting to be contacted for friendly matches. Leagues aren’t for everyone and if you would like to play people without the competition element that a league presents, this is a perfect way for you to meet opponents to play against.
Our flexible membership options provide affordable payment options for members to enjoy our facilities and be part of our fantastic club. We offer monthly, annual, as well as daytime and student/ junior membership options. For more information, please find our online application form here.
Our head coach Mark Tasker is there to help you learn and improve through both group and private coaching. Private coaching is available directly through Mark and can be a great way of learning the fundamentals at your own pace. Alternatively, we also run a beginner group coaching session, which is a great way to learn with other beginner players and meet others to play against. This session runs on Monday and Thursday at 1030am and is £5 for members, click below to enquire.

For beginner players with little experience. These leagues provide an opportunity to meet other players of a similar ability and play against them in a relaxed and casual environment. They follow the same format as the main internal leagues but run independently providing new members with a non-intimidating avenue into the club.
Summer league is a very popular and fun, social competition for members of all levels. It is a team event made up of 6 players, representing both squash and racketball. This is one of the best social events of the year and is a great way of playing through the summer months.
With over 90 competitors ranging from beginner to county level, the internal leagues cater for all abilities. Internal leagues run all year round in six week cycles; it is a great way to get started, meet new players and improve your game. There are prizes each cycle for players to win, adding that extra bit of incentive to keep improving.
The Club Championships take place every year and are made up of various categories, for both squash and racketball. There are A and B events, meaning members of all levels can get involved. The A event is steeped with history, with previous winners including 3 time World Champion Nick Matthew, Over 45 National Champion Murray Scott and Over 40 National Champion Nick Wall.
