LEARNING AND COACHING
Why not enroll for a series of squash lessons or clinics? Lessons are available for all levels of play from beginners to aspiring pros and at all age levels. Contact our pro for information on group or non-member coaching.
SAFETY
Protective glasses are available for purchase. The likelihood of injuries will be reduced if players wear appropriate footwear during their game. This reduces the amount of dust/dirt walked onto the courts, keeping the playing surfaces free from the debris that creates dangerous playing conditions.
NON-MARKING SHOES AND EYE PROTECTION
Non-marking shoes must be worn on the courts at all times; black-soled shoes and other improper footwear will mark the court floors and are not permitted. Shirts must be worn at all times to prevent sweat staining the floor. All members and guests must wear protective eyewear.
