Here’s your chance to get your foot in the squash-door before we kick off the 2019 WHCA Squash Championship. The WHCA is partnering with Sport Calgary to provide an introduction to squash for All Sport One City. Throughout all of Saturday, January 26th, we will have courts set aside in order to accommodate members of the public to stop by the Health Club and get their feet wet in the world of squash.
Learn the basics or brush up on your skills for this active quick-paced racquet sport
Played in an indoor court, the aim of squash is to make a small rubber ball bounce twice on the floor before the opponent is able to return it. You have to be extremely quick to get to the ball but you also have to have great endurance and recovery to keep getting that ball back time and time again, especially when it can travel as fast as 270kmh!
If you are a beginner, you will learn the rules and the game of squash. If you have some playing experience, but need to improve your skills, this class is for you. This is also a great class for people who have never tried squash before and want to give it a try in s safe and supportive environment.
