About us

The Club is based at the One Leisure Huntingdon Centre. It caters for all those who wish to enjoy social or competitive squash and racketball (squash 57). 

The club has much to offer and wants to do more for its members with your help and input. Our committee is fully committed to putting on lots of events for the benefit of our members and to encourage the uptake of squash and racketball in the community.

Our current programme is below:

Club Night

Club night resumes on Mondays at 7.40pm from 10^th September after a short summer break.

Members receive a discounted fee of £3 (£2 for juniors) to participate and can have a go at squash and racketball in a fun, friendly environment. It’s a great way of meeting other players and practising your squash with players of all abilities.

Tournaments

We have held a range of events this year for all abilities such as the handicap speed squash turkey tournament and the Pairs Batman & Robin squash tournament. We also hold Squash and Racketball Club Championships annually and an annual Racketball post Xmas detox event.

Members also receive discounted entry into Open events that the club runs at the Outdoor centre such as the St Ivo Racketball Open and the recent graded Squash Open.

Team Squash

The club has two mixed teams in the Cambridgeshire leagues. The 1^st team are in Division I of the Cambs league and offer the chance to play squash at a high level. 

The 2^nd team is in the 4^th Division and are expected to do well this year. The teams run by Club Captain Alistair Paul offers an excellent introduction to the competitive yet fun nature of team squash for players of all abilities.

Junior Squash

Coaching and Training

Group sessions are to be arranged, using coaches from within the Club and external qualified coaches to provide support to team players, upper and lower box league players, ladies and social players. Coaching will also be accessible on selected club nights. We currently have two coaches who the club have supported through qualifications, John Dewis and Matt Dixon. 

Box Leagues

One Leisure run the box leagues published on the noticeboard. We encourage members to enter the box leagues and we are working with One Leisure to increase participation.

Your membership and what your membership fee goes towards

We offer a variety of memberships from just £20. We encourage members to join England Squash by opting for our Gold memberships. England Squash have supported the club in the past and the benefits are very good value. We also have a standard membership option which gives access to all the same club events and discounted activities for just £20 and players can upgrade later in the year should they wish to. Regular team players must have a Gold Membership.

Your membership fees are essential to help us provide a framework to develop squash in the area. We pay England Squash court fees and player fees to help run the national governing body and support the network of County squash organization. The club pays for insurance, buys squash and racketball equipment including balls and safety wear and supports players who wish to train to be coaches. We also provide trophies and prizes for club competitions. The clubs main costs are court fees to Hunts District Council for organised club events such as club nights and club competitions. Teams players pay their own court costs.
