I am a beginner and I am asking for squash lessons. How much does it cost and time available?
Hi Mohamed,

Martin
Hi Martin, is club night back on a Friday too?
Hi Karen,
I’m still talking to the sports manager about re-starting the Friday night club sessions.
When do you think Friday evening squash will start at Finsbury?
Hi Ash,
Definitely before the end of February.
I’ll keep everyone informed.
Great to see the Friday sessions starting up again at Finsbury leisure centre. Coming with a friend. Looking forward it!
Thanks Rhys – looking forward to seeing you and all the old regulars again.
Hi Martin,
Are the Friday night club nights continuing now the trial period is over?
Thanks,
J.D.
Hi JD,
Yes, new dates are up on the registration form.
The intention is to keep the club nights going permanently.
Hi i just booked and paid for the session on Friday, but when the payment went through it said see you Sunday? Please help
Hi there. Am a member and league player at a club in North London, but am hoping to play some social games near where I work in the city centre. Would I be able to join some of the Friday sessions, or perhaps arrange a friendly on other days of the week?
Hi Matthew,
Yes, all are welcome on Fridays, 6 – 8pm.
I’ll let the relevant divisions of the leagues know that you’re looking for mid-week games as well.
Hi Martin,
I’d love to start the Friday sessions, and have played a few times but would like some private sessions as I haven’t played in a whole. How do I go about arranging these?
Thank you!
Aimee
Hi Aimee,
Thanks for getting in touch,I’ll email you.
Hi, recently moved to Islington area and looking for a squash club with coaching. Is that something you can help with?
Hi Martin, I would love to join the Saturday ladies session. I’ve been playing squash for over a year and had a coach before so not a beginner. May I know when the next session would be? Thank you! 🙂
Hi Alice,
Thanks for getting in touch.
You’re very welcome to join the next ladies session at Finsbury Leisure Centre – the first of 2023 – on Saturday 7th January 2023
Martin
Thanks Martin! I’ll see you this Saturday. I assume no booking is required?
Hi Martin,
I would love to join the Saturday ladies session this coming week. How do I sign up? Am I ok to turn up on the day and bring money? I have my own racquet and shoes.
Many thanks,
Ottilie
Hi Ottilie,
Yes, if you already have playing experience you’re very welcome – just go to reception and ask for a Ladies’ Squash ticket.
Martin
Hey Martin,
I’m an absolute beginner looking to get into squash. I was wondering if you’re available for a beginner session any approaching weekend. Either group or individual – prefer group if possible.
If it’s possible are bookings for beginners also made through the booking form here?
Thanks!
Beginner sessions can be booked here: https://www.hackneysquash.com/squash-beginners-classes/
Hi Martin, how do I book a court for me and my brother in law to come and play on a Saturday evening?
I’m sure I will come and join one of your classes at some point, but have a family Memeber in hospital atm so I can’t commit just yet.
Hi Chris,
The club night group is Friday at 6-8pm. Saturday mornings are for the ladies session
Hey, just moved into the area and looking to start playing squash. I played briefly with my uni club a while ago but mostly just for fun and exercise but I want to improve and play more frequently.
Can I join you this Friday to see what it’s like? I don’t have a racquet yet so wondering if there are any spares I can use for the first session before I commit and purchase my own kit.
Thanks
Hi Sean,
Yes, as an experienced player you’re very welcome to join us on Friday – visit the Coaching tab page to register and pay.
