Wigginton Squash Club
Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th February, 10am-4pm
Looking to take up a new sport? Wigginton Squash Club is holding an open weekend so that people can get a feel for the club and find out what the sport is all about.
There will be coaches on hand all day for a chat, plus complimentary tea, coffee and cake. Visitors can take a tour of the facilities, enter a free prize draw to win an 18 month Family Membership (worth over £300), use the gym and even try a game of squash or racketball – equipment will be provided.
Squash is a fast-paced competitive game played in a sealed room with a rubber ball and rackets. As well as being great for aerobic fitness, it can help increase flexibility and strength. And no team does it like Wigginton Squash Club: the Men’s First Team recently won the York and District First Division 2021 for the 10th time in the club’s 43 year history.
The club has a bar, lounge and function room, and boasts a thriving social scene, too. The bar is open every night, with early afternoon opening at weekends when Sky Sports and BT Sports matches are shown on big screens.
Wigginton Squash Club is mainly volunteer-run and sponsored by Hunters Estate Agents. Ian Dunlop of Hunters Estate Agents, said: “We just enjoy the club and think it’s great for the village. It was built by village members originally, they put together the foundations of the club, and from the hard work of a lot of volunteers, it’s because of them that it’s survived so long, and it’s a great place to go.”
There are over 140 full playing members and with, gym, day, junior and social members, the club is nearing 400.
For those who need to start from scratch or want to improve their technique, coaching is available for all ages and abilities at different times throughout the week.
You can guarantee yourself a 25 minute session with a coach on the day by pre-booking. This can be done by emailing enquiries@wiggintonsquash.co.uk or leaving a message on the club phone at
