Welcome to Leicester Squash Club

Welcome to Leicester Squash Club, and thank you for visiting our website.

Founded in 1936, owned and run by its members, Leicester Squash Club is the longest established squash club in Leicestershire. We take pride in the quality of our 4 courts, reputed to be among the very best in the Midlands.

We aim to provide opportunities for players of all standards. Our Men's First Team has played in the first division of the Men's Leicestershire Squash League for a great many years winning the league title many times. Five further teams played in the league in the 2008-09 season. Having also fielded ladies' teams over many years, the 08/09 season was particularly satisfying with our very strong ladies team taking the second division title without dropping a match.

Our Head Coach, Ollie Clay, is highly ranked in the County. Two members, Sally Jee and Jo Cooper have represented England ladies in their respective age groups and Jeff Avery has represented Wales in the Over 60 category.

During the summer the club hosts the very popular Leicestershire Squash Business League, this year sponsored by dot IT of Leicester, completing a continuous competitive team squash calendar throughout the year. Doubles squash is well established at the club and for the second year  in succession  doubles competition was in our annual club championships.

Social squash is played by members of all ages and abilities and for those wanting competition there are internal leagues on a monthly promotion/relegation cycle. Club Night on Fridays offers the opportunity for all members to come along and play without prior arrangement.

There is an active junior section and group coaching is available to junior members and non-members every Saturday morning and Tuesday evening.

We have European links and in recent years teams have travelled to Monaco, Rome, Brno (Czech Republic) and Dublin.

We have a sizeable and modern function room available for hire and catering can be provided. The room is actively used for business meetings during the day and for classes such as yoga, aerobics and performing arts in the evening.

Our bar area overlooks all four courts and many a pleasant hour is spent by members chatting and watching the games being played from the comfort of the bar. Social events in the last year include quizzes, a curry evening and our annual golf day.

We are proud of our club and its facilities and our members particularly value its convivial atmosphere.
