- Eye Guards-We cannot stress strongly enough how important it is to wear eye protection when playing squash. When played according to the rules, squash is extremely safe, however accidents do happen. After a couple of practices you won’t even know you are wearing any glasses. Any participation in squash programs will require you to wear eye guards.
- Ratings-Please read through a rating form to establish your level of play. Our squash pro will assess you over time to establish your accuracy! As you play matches in our new squash program your rating will move up and down accordingly. This will also be linked on a national level so that you can receive a national rating.
When all else fails, individual lessons, group lessons, and clinics are available from one of the best players in the world. Squash courts may be reserved up to 3 days in advance.
