There is an exciting exhibition match taking place at the University of Birmingham on Saturday 4th January at 18:15, as part of the British Junior Open.
This will pit 2 of England's brightest rising star prospects against each other in what promises to be a high quality, exciting match.

To be honest, all the fixtures have been tricky as we've struggled to field a full strength side, having lost our no. 1 (come back Mark please, soon! 😂) and with limited availability at times.
Still, we've all battled valiantly, often having to play above our level, which has shown in the results.
Last night was no exception, with a 4-1 loss. Club Chairman James notched a win, but at the expense of a new battle scar!
We continue to play with a smile on our faces and are looking forward to the 2nd half of the season when fixtures resume in January 👍 ... See MoreSee Less
Our last Club newsletter for 2024 has just been sent. This summarises our exciting plans to further grow the Club and squash across the Lichfield area in 2025.
Last Junior Academy of 2024 took place this morning.
After our usual dynamic warmup, we undertook a routine using the large sponge ball to slow down the swing and practice 'soft hands' to control the ball.
The players then put their skills into action with group and singles games.
A great way to round off 2024 and we look forward to welcoming the players back on our courts to continue their squash development 👌👏 ... See MoreSee Less
Our Chairman James did not win this year's England Squash Unsung Hero Award but we're incredibly proud of the shortlisting, which is great recognition for the work of the club 👌
Many congratulations to all the winners and shortlisted nominees in this year's England Squash Awards 👏 ... See MoreSee Less
Congratulations to Martin Brown on winning the Premier Division of our Club Leagues for the first time.
Well done as well to all those who achieved promotion up to a higher division. We also hope everyone enjoyed their matches during the last league cycle.
Our new League has just been published and will run until Saturday 4th January. Good luck all taking part. ... See MoreSee Less
We have now established a weekly new Skills and Drills session, starting on Thursday 28th November at 7.00pm.
Both courts are booked for 1 session, maximum 8 players, with a cost of £5.00 per player.
The format will be a quick warmup and technical session led by 1 of our coaches, followed by timed 3/4 court play.
This session is suitable for all levels of play, with groups swapping about, depending on who wins each timed session.
This provides the opportunity to play lots of different people across the levels and progress your game. It will also be ideal to meet and play members you might not ordinarily get to know.
For non members, returners or improvers looking for a social hit, our Tuesday Club Night at 7pm would be ideal. First attendance is always free of charge, so get in touch if you are looking for a route to get into or return to playing squash. ... See MoreSee Less
We were delighted to learn that our Chairman, James Roberts, has been nominated and now shortlisted for the England Squash Unsung Hero Award 2024.
Since our post-Covid club relaunch in 2024, our club has gone from strength to strength in its mission to develop squash across the Lichfield area.
We are proud of the progress we have made as a Club, spearheaded by James as Chairman, but with the dedication and contributions of the other Committee members and ultimately our members.
Whatever the result of this Award, we are already grateful for the recognition of our Club through this shortlisting. We look forward to continuing our aim to make squash one of the most popular sports across Lichfield!
Good luck to all nominees across all categories! ... See MoreSee Less
Thanks for your supportive comments. I absolutely love playing and encouraging others to enjoy squash so it's no hardship for me! I feel like a winner just being shortlisted!
Fantastic to see England Squash our sport's National Governing Body, promoting our successful junior programmes. We've loved delivering these and will be doing more in the run up to Christmas and beyond.
None of this would be possible without the excellent coaching programmes and workshops provided by England Squash and the dedication of our coaching team 👏 ... See MoreSee Less

The hybrid Lichfield/Burntwood team known as 'Burntfield' completed the first half of the Staffordshire Squash winter teams season last night with a tricky away fixture at Wolverhampton Lawn Tennis and Squash Club.
To be honest, all the fixtures have been tricky as we've struggled to field a full strength side, having lost our no. 1 (come back Mark please, soon! 😂) and with limited availability at times.
Still, we've all battled valiantly, often having to play above our level, which has shown in the results.
