Squash Membership 2017


Now that the cold weather has settled why not consider taking up Squash - the perfect indoor sport. Did you know that:

  • Squash was invented at Harrow school in around 1830 when students discovered that it was more fun to play Rackets with a punctured ball! 

  • Although not currently featured in the Olympics, squash is recognised as an Olympic sport and may be featured in future events 

  • More than 20 million people play squash across over 175 countries 

  • Many people love squash due to the variety of shots that can be played rather than a simple back-and-forth rally.

  • The game also has many health benefits ranging from psychological wellbeing to providing a great cardiovascular workout. 

  • Squash is excellent for burning calories. It has been found that an adult can burn over 1,000 calories in only one hour of play! 

  • As it is an indoor activity, squash can be enjoyed all year round unlike football or cricket which can be rained off.
