At Grove Park Squash Club we have players from a vast range of abilities, ages (Ron Yule finally retired from squash recently at the age of 88), and backgrounds. But whoever you are, you can choose from the range of different ways of playing to fulfill your squash requirements.
CLUB NIGHTS
The main club night is on every Monday Evening (5.30pm
- 10pm). There is also a smaller club night on Saturday (6pm - 7.00pm).
These are opportunities for more social squash.
There is no need to pre-book, just come down, sign up on the sheet on the
balcony and have 20 minute matches with a vast range of different players.
With court fees of only 60p each per session, you'll have plenty of money
to spend in the bar afterwards.
LEAGUES
A comprehensive internal squash 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. Each league generally contains
five players and last one month. The winter squash league is complemented
by a slightly smaller summer league for those members wanting year round
competitive squash. Both leagues are open to all men and women members.
RACKETBALL
This is an area which is steadily growing. Rackets and
ball are always available at the club to borrow so anybody can give it a
try. If you've never tried it before, why not and give it a go.
WOMEN
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.
We run our #Squashgirlscan
drop in sessions every Wednesday 7pm-8pm for beginners and intermediates.
Part of the successful 'ThisGirlCan' national campaign, they are coached
group sessions for women & girls only. Find
out more about these friendly, fun & supportive sessions.
The
Ladies first team has been very successful over the years, winning numerous
trophies including the Cheshire Ladies League Division One several times.
We have now entered a 2nd team into Division Three, which will give an accessible
entry level into women's team squash, giving 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 seven teams!
If you would like to know more about the Ladies Section at Grove Park, please
contact the Ladies Captain, Hilary Kenyon, 07500045294.
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.
- Open
- Ladies' Open
- Over 35
- Over 45
- Handicap
(Select a tournament to see its history)
A
doubles tournament is also held at least once a year. Once you enter
you are paired with your partner on ability so the weakest players get to
play with the strongest players. All the 15 minute matches are played in
an evening and everybody gets to play 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!).
COACHING
If you want to improve your game or you are just a little
rusty, quality coaches are available. Head coach Jules Abbas-Silvera and
coach Yawar Abbas will take one to one & group sessions with beginners
right through to elite players.
