Thorndon Squash
| Squash Club Nights |
Who Can Come AlongAnyone who is a member or considering becoming one. Guests are welcome to come down and try out the facilities if they are thinking of joining the club. There is no fee for using the courts, balls or racquets for them. We do ask that after their 2nd visit and they wish to continue coming along that they join as a club member.
What Do I DoCome down to the club from about 6:00 pm on Thursdays, wander into the squash area (follow the outside landing) and let a member know that you are new and here for club night. They'll show you the ropes and make you know to the club night coordinator.
What Do I NeedSome gear to do some running around in (squash is energetic) and some non-marking sports shoes.
If you've got a squash racquet, that is good. If not, the club can lend you one for the night (you'll need to buy one if you want to join and keep playing though).
The club supply squash balls for club nights.
What Else HappensA lot of members head down to club night from 5:30 - 6:00 pm, depending on court availability, they'll jump on and just have a bit of a warm up or hit. A cut down version of squash is often played by several people on a court at once , called three-quarter-court. This is great for developing your skills of driving the ball long and down the wall.
