Squash Club

   

Description

The game of Squash combines fitness, flexibility, and mental toughness. It is a great social sport to meet new people and get a great cardio workout all at the same time.
The club is open to all levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced. Don’t be shy because you will definitely find someone to play with at your level. Come out and learn about the sport - rules of the game, tactics on how to play, tips on how to improve your game, and of course learning from playing with others (practice makes perfect!). Remember that this is a recreational club so we want you to come out to have fun and meet some new people!

There is no formal coach for this club but our team of execs includes people with a background in squash who will be around to answer any questions you may have or to get on court with you to help or play.

We partner with “OfCourts”, our local racquet sport experts – to provide exclusive discounts for our members as well as amazing tournament prizes! We’ve been working together for a long time, to promote the great sport of squash!

About the President

Hi everyone! My name is Michael Howe, and I am currently a third-year business student at Ivey, who just so happens to love the game of squash. I had my first experience playing squash when I was in high school, and I’ve been playing ever since. Joining in my first year, I found squash club as a great retreat from the stresses of school and a great way to make new friends in an active setting by playing a variety of games, competing in tournaments, as well as just rallying with your friends. We pride ourselves on providing a safe and welcoming environment to learn the game of squash to the Western community, and we have an amazing executive team this year to continue our reputation as one of the best clubs at the university. Come on down to squash club, you won’t regret it!

Past Events

• Tournaments: We usually hold 2 tournaments a year. One is a closed tournament for squash club members and our second is an open tournament where players of all levels are more than welcome to come and participate. We also spend a lot on some great prizes!
• Social: We also hold one social every year. As a club we go out to a restaurant, eat, talk, laugh and have a grand time. It is at the social that you get to see your fellow squash club members outside of the sport and in a whole new way!
• Competitive Ladder: During the year, we organize a ladder where club members are able to challenge each other and try to move up the rankings! Purely optional, of course – but it provides a great way to bring out some more competitive spirit!
