How do I best meet other members to play against?

Your best option is to come to a club day.  You might also consider playing interclub for some regular matches or joining in club competitions and tournaments.  You can also contact the office and enquire about other players of  similar ability to play with.

How do I book a court?

Use our online booking system. Remember to confirm your booking when you arrive at the club.

Can I bring a friend who’s not a member?

Absolutely – but there is a visitor’s fee of $10 which you will be charged. After 3 visits you should probably start dropping a few hints about them becoming a member too.

The courts are nearly always free week day afternoons before 3pm, but some courts are also available for booking almost anytime, subject to tournaments, club days and coaching etc.

Squash

When is the best time to get a squash court?

Courts are available to book anytime subject to interclub, club day and tournament bookings, but the busiest time is 4.30pm to 7.30pm weeknights.

What’s the story about squash interclub?

Contact the KTSC office or the Squash Club Captain and organise yourself a “grading”. Once you’ve got a grading you’re ready to play interclub, the home and away team’s event played one night a week. Home teams always put on the after-match spread, so although it’s competitive, interclub’s fairly social too.

But I’m not super competitive…

Then put your name down for our in-house ‘Innerclub’. It’s a fine way to meet other players. Innerclub leagues are run outside the main squash season – generally Sept/October-ish and again Feb/March.  This is a very popular fun competition so make sure you send in your registration as soon as you receive your email advice about upcoming leagues!

Can I get squash coaching at KTSC?

Yes – we have several members who are qualified squash coaches.  Please contact the KTSC office for details.

How do I turn on the squash court lights?

Once you confirm a squash booking in the booking system, the court lights will turn on automatically.
