Getting into squash - Bendigo Squash Club

The benefits of squash and how to get started this summer.

It's time to get off the couch and get active, maybe you've thought about playing squash or racquetball but don't know much about it, or wondered how you might get started.

Lets take a look at the benefits of squash and also how to get started this summer.

We've had our resident personal trainer Nathan elaborate on the health benefits associated with squash.

Agility

Squash is an incredibly dynamic game involving lots of sprinting, lunging, stopping and fast direction changes. These are all great for fitness in general, but they transfer incredibly well into other sports also. Anyone who plays a field based sport such as AFL or soccer is going to benefit immensely from the agility gained from playing Squash. For this reason alone it should be a sport that is on all athletes off season training schedule.

Calories Burned

Compared to other sports Squash has been shown to on average be incredibly good at burning calories. On average, an hour of squash for a person weighing 80kg will burn close to 1000 calories. This is a lot to burn for just an hour of sport!

Concentration and Alertness

Squash is a great game for visual and mental concentration. The ball is small and often moving very fast and as a player you need to be able to track where the ball is going to be and where your opponent is on the court and then plan your shot.

Cardiovascular

Squash is a game that is played in bursts of speed, usually at maximal effort. It is a game that will keep you heart rate up for the entirety of the game, this will make your heart stronger as it is forced to pump more blood around your body.

Strength and Fitness

Squash is a full body exercise. It helps to build leg power as well as core and upper body strength. The explosive nature of the game makes it a great leg workout, helping to tone and strengthen your legs. For people who spend a lot of time sitting down during the day, Squash is also an excellent sport for ‘waking up’ your Glutes. Your glutes are an incredibly important core muscle that provide support for your whole torso. Many lower back problems can be alleviated by getting your glutes firing, and Squash is a great sport to do this. Anyone with hamstring problems will also benefit from having your glutes work harder also.

There’s heaps of ways to play

Competition

Pennant is played on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday nights, you don't need to bring a whole team, just sign up and we do the rest.

7pm on your selected Squash night/s or 6pm for Wednesday Racquetball

We have two different comps running through Summer. Our Box League has a more flexible and relaxed vibe. Play you weekly match anytime, any night through 4 weeks of January. Click for more info and registrations.

Links coming soon!

We also have the new addition of the full Summer Pennant This is a team competition. You will be placed into a team of 4 people on your chosen night. You only play other players of your own level from your opposing teams each week. These matches are always played on the designated night and as an individual you may be on court any time between 7pm - 9:30pm. Click for more info and Registrations.

Links coming soon!

Juniors Training & Competition

We run 2 weekly juniors training sessions followed by a friendly round robin where players are always matched for good games.

Juniors competitions run in line with each school term.

Learn more about Tuesday Junior Juggernauts

Learn more about Friday Development training

Play Casually

Challenge a mate to a casual game of squash, bring a 3rd person for a winner stays on friendly competition. You'll want to book to avoid disappointment.

From 4pm to 7pm
Monday to Friday

Boasting the largest range of levels and age groups seen in recent years, starting July 26th 2021, as well as an all new format much like our Box League set-up.

After the great success with our Box League format the Bendigo Squash Club has decided to adopt this new form of play for their 2021 club championships.

The Championships will be held over a number of different divisions with Men’s, Women’s and Juniors options.

A Knock out competition with losing players returning to the draw to play for lower ranked positions will begin from Monday July 26th with the Junior grand finals to be played the night of Friday August 27th. Adult semi finals and grand finals will be played during the day of Saturday August 28th. No set day or time for round matches to be played each week but they must be completed in that week. You will organise your own match times with your opponents creating extra flexibility.

Club Championships will be played in place of the August Box League so make sure to register to still get your monthly matches in during that time. Just like the Box League, scores are to be submitted on the provided bulletin board after each match, only final game score is require e.g. 3 vs 1 not the total points score.

So much has changed around the Club in recent times and you'll love seeing all the new and old players having a ball. The social club has re-formed and there's plenty of action at the courts most nights of the week. Why not pop back in for a hit over the summer and see for yourself.

I've never played squash

Come and play our casual Wednesday night round robin for beginners to see if you're up for the challenge, the first night is free and we've got a coach on hand to get you into the game.

If you've played Tennis, Badminton or other racket sports you'll likely feel comfortable swinging the racket and be playing competitive squash in no time at all.

I've played before but it's been a while

If you're new to Bendigo Squash Club then you'll want to drop us a line to organise a hit, that way we can asses your ability and get you started on the appropriate competition night. Our beginners round robin on Wednesday night (from 7 pm) and club practice on Sunday (at 6 pm) are great options to get back into it and see where you're at.
