FEEDBACK
“The course has benefited [My Daughter] immensely. She has learnt, not only, about how to play the game, she’s grown in confidence, she’s more resilient but also developed interest in watching tennis on TV. She would most likely, otherwise, not participate in racket sports, which she now hugely enjoys. Thank you.”
SQUASH COMMUNITY CLUB
Our squash outreach sessions at The Queen’s Club provide an easy way for local children to access this sport within curriculum time, as well as giving them tasters of some of the other racket sports played at Queen’s. We continue to work with the sports development team at Hammersmith & Fulham to identify further opportunities for children to play squash in their local community.
75%

FEEDBACK
“It has boosted their happiness and attitude towards sport as well as giving them something to look forward to. I have noticed that the children who have taken part in squash have become more resilient when facing different types of challenges.”
