At
Grove Park Squash Club we have players from a vast range of abilities,
ages, and backgrounds. But whoever you are, you can
choose from the range of different ways of playing to fulfill your squash
requirements.

The main club night is on every Monday Evening (5.30pm - 10pm). There is also a smaller club night on Saturday (7pm - 8.00pm). These are opportunities for more social squash. There is no need to pre-book, just come down and have 20 minute matches with a vast range of different players. With court fees of only 50p each per session, you'll have plenty of money to spend in the bar afterwards.
A comprehensive internal winter league system is run embracing all playing standards. It allows you to quickly establish regular playing partners of a similar standard as well as new players to challenge you as you (hopefully) improve. The winter league is complemented by a smaller summer league for those members wanting year round competitive squash. Both leagues are open to all men and women members.
LADIES
Grove
Park Squash Club has a keen, enthusiastic and growing ladies section, but
we are constantly on the look out for ladies of all standards to join the
club.
However, the first team plays in the Cheshire Ladies League at Division
One standard, winning it for the first time for 14 years, last season. They
went on to become runners-up in the England Squash National
Cup.
We have just entered a new third team for the 2006-07 season which will
play in Division 3b. So we now have a team in each of the 3 Divisions, which
will give everybody a chance to play at their own level.
As there are loads of men who play squash at Grove Park, there is ample
opportunity to play mixed squash in the internal club leagues, tournaments,
club nights or to play on one of their eleven teams!
If you would like to know more about the Ladies Section at Grove Park, please
contact the Ladies Captain, Hilary Kenyon
on 01625 850053 or 07967 150716.

COMPETITIONS
The club runs a number of tournaments and competitions
throughout the year. Any club member is eligible to enter the competitions
providing they meet the basic entry requirements.
- Ladies' Open
- Men's Open

- Men's Over 45
- Handicap
(Select a tournament to see its history)
A doubles tournament has also been held over the last few years. Once you enter you are paired with your partner on ability so the weakest players get to play with the strongest players. All the 10 minute matches are played in an evening and everybody gets to play at least four matches (though it takes about that long to figure out how to play it!). No doubles experience is required (it's not as much fun if you know what you are doing!).
TEAMS
Grove Park has the strongest team
line-up in the North West: eleven men's teams in the North West Counties
League and a team in the top division of the Cheshire Ladies' League.
We also have a veterans team who play in the Northern Decadents League.
It involves a slightly less competitive brand of squash and has more of
an emphasis on the restaurant meal and drinks afterwards. They play on Tuesday
nights.
COACHING

rusty, quality coaches are available. Professionals Andrew Whipp and Yawar
