We’re holding a relaxed, fun and social women’s squash evening on Thursday 17th September at 7.00pm.
It’s aimed particularly at women who are new to squash, returning after a break, or just fancy giving it a try. No experience needed, equipment provided, and we’ll have refreshments afterwards.
Free to attend.
If you know someone who might enjoy it, please do encourage them to come along or share the event with them — friends, partners, family members and colleagues all very welcome.
Really pleased to see England Squash pick up on James' appearance on Lichfield Radio & Echo and feature it as part of their #SquashSpotlight series.
It was a great opportunity to talk about Lichfield Squash Club, how we’re trying to make the game more accessible, the importance of introducing beginners to the right ball, our forthcoming events, and why we see the growth of other racket sports such as padel as an opportunity rather than a threat.
Hopefully it also shows how useful local radio and community media can be in helping clubs reach beyond their existing membership and introduce squash to new audiences.
A big thank you to England Squash for helping amplify the message.
If you’d like to hear the original interview, the replay is now available. Jump to 49:45 to go straight to the start of the segment:
A shout out to Lichfield Squash Club, whose Chairman James Roberts recently took to the airwaves on Lichfield Radio & Echo to talk all things squash.
From welcoming new players to promoting upcoming events, it's great to see clubs spreading the word and helping more people discover the game 🤝 ... See MoreSee Less

Club Closed Championships 2026 — entries now open!
Entries are now open for the Lichfield Squash Club Closed Championships 2026 , which will form a key part of this year’s Lichfield Squash Festival on Saturday 26th September.
As in previous years, the finals will take place on Festival day, giving us a great opportunity to showcase competitive squash across the club and create a strong finals day atmosphere.
This year, we’re planning to run:
A Grade Championship For the strongest club and team players.
B Grade Championship For regular club players and developing competitive players.
C Grade Championship For newer, returning or less experienced players who would like to get involved.
Junior Championship For our junior members, with preliminary rounds to be arranged during Junior Squash Academy sessions in early September, once everyone is back at school.
You do not need to choose your own grade. For the senior championships, simply let me know that you would like to enter and we will allocate players to the grade I think is most appropriate, based on playing standard and the entries received.
The exact format will depend on entry numbers, but the senior competitions are likely to be run as knockout draws managed on MyCourts, with early rounds played from early September and completed before finals day. Matches will use best of 5 games, PAR 11 scoring.
Entry is free and open to Lichfield Squash Club members only, across all membership categories, including associate members. The main thing is that senior entrants will need to be available to play their rounds during September and, if they reach the final, be available on Saturday 26th September.
To enter, please reply to this email or message me directly confirming that you would like to take part.
It would be fantastic to get a strong entry across all grades, plus a good turnout for the Junior Championship, and make this year’s Club Closed Championships another great celebration of squash at the club. ... See MoreSee Less

The day will include:
Club Closed Championship Finals — A, B and C grades Junior Championship Finals
Try-it sessions for children and adults new to squash
Open courts from 10.00am to 12.00pm
A chance to watch, play, support and get involved

Date: Saturday 26th September 2026
Venue: Lichfield Squash Club, King Edward VI School
Representing Lichfield were Dan, Danny and Steve, while Stourbridge were represented by captain Beth, Reeve and George, who is just 13 years old.
Across the six short interviews, the players talk about what they enjoy most about team squash, what they personally get from it, whether it has helped them improve, the importance of the social side and how they would encourage others to get involved.
It was great to hear such a range of perspectives, from experienced players through to some of Stourbridge’s exciting young talent.
Rather than heavily editing the interviews, we have decided to share them in full so that each player can tell their story in their own words.
Team squash offers competition, development, friendship, club pride and plenty of enjoyment both on and off court.
A big thank you to all six players for taking part, and to Stourbridge Squash Club for making us so welcome.
Each video is posted separately in the comments. Have a watch and let us know: how would you describe team squash in one word? ... See MoreSee Less

🎥 What makes team squash so enjoyable?
During our recent Staffordshire Squash Summer League match at Stourbridge Tennis and Squash Club , we took the opportunity to speak to six players about their experiences of team squash.
Representing Lichfield were Dan, Danny and Steve, while Stourbridge were represented by captain Beth, Reeve and George, who is just 13 years old.
Across the six short interviews, the players talk about what they enjoy most about team squash, what they personally get from it, whether it has helped them improve, the importance of the social side and how they would encourage others to get involved.
It was great to hear such a range of perspectives, from experienced players through to some of Stourbridge’s exciting young talent.
Rather than heavily editing the interviews, we have decided to share them in full so that each player can tell their story in their own words.
Team squash offers competition, development, friendship, club pride and plenty of enjoyment both on and off court.
A big thank you to all six players for taking part, and to Stourbridge Squash Club for making us so welcome.
