About

There are two competition standard squash courts in the Dean clubhouse, one of which has a full viewing gallery. The courts were fully refurbished in 2003 with re-laid floors and the walls painted in pastel shades.

There are men's and women's teams, which play in the ESSA leagues, where results ands current standings can be found.

Court bookings
Booking sheets are available in the Clubhouse. Courts may be booked up to one week in advance.

Footwear
We want to prevent marking of the floors caused by players using the wrong type of shoe. Please use the correct type of shoes for playing squash, that is shoes with non-marking soles (if in doubt, do not use shoes with black soles). We also ask that you do not wear these shoes outdoors, and that you change into your shoes in the Clubhouse so as not to introduce dirt onto the courts.

Squash leagues

About 60% of the squash playing members regularly play in the Club's internal leagues. There are up to 10 divisions of six players giving an opportunity of a game every week against an opponent of similar standard. The leagues operate throughout the year, if you are interested in these, contact the league organizer.

Squash leagues continue all year round. They are organised in 5-week blocks, providing players with the opportunity of a game each week against opponents of a similar standard. The leagues suit all standards, and there are 50 or so regular players. New members are welcome to join the leagues, which give an opportunity to meet other members of the Club.

Club night
Squash Club night is held on Fridays between 5.40 and 9.20 pm. Games are played on a round robin basis. All squash members are welcome.
