Squash

Description

The Squash Club operates a House League in the Fall and Winter semesters and welcomes players of all skill levels – from beginners to the pros!  Squash is a fantastic game, and the club is a great way to get exercise, meet great people, improve your game, and most of all have fun.

House League takes place on Tuesday evenings between 6:00 & 11:00 pm. It is important that you can commit to a Tuesday evening game if you join the house league. You will have a 40-minute pre-scheduled match every Tuesday against another player who is in your general skill level. League play, including play-offs, ends just before exams start.

Fall Semester Update:  Registration for the fall semester has closed. 

The Squash Club will continue to be administered in conjunction with Intramurals.  

Community members can play.  A recreation athletic centre membership is needed.

Squash courts can be booked for recreational (non-club) play online through the main Gryphons Fitness and Rec webpage (https://fitandrec.gryphons.ca/)
