Playing team squash at your local club

Many people take up squash after playing other sports like football and rugby, some do it at the same time. The thing about squash is you can play it all year round. If you progress to team squash, which is not that high these days it provides a net network of friends if you want it to!

Imagine moving to a new town having played team squash, you have the opportunity to meet new people. Team squash is competitive but more importantly it's a social thing, yes you get fit and you don't have to get bored silly at the gym. To be fair most squash players are over 40, which is a shame, but don't think you’re too old to try. I would recommend a visit to your Doctor if over 40 and not exercised for a while or have any problems or concerns. It may however be worth spending a few visits to the gym, rowing machines, running machines, cross trains and exercise bike to ease you in and build the fitness up.

As I add to the blogs I will offer advice and make a few suggesting regarding equipment, clothing, warming up, warming down and clubs.

I have been guilty of enticing ex players and first time players to the game.....Don’t be a couch potato!
