Squash

About Us

Here at the squash club, we pride ourselves in being an inclusive and close-knit group of people. Whatever your squash ability - whether you have never held a racket in your life or if you are a professional, there is a place for you in our club!

We train in the Mardyke squash courts in the Mardyke Arena, we would be delighted to see you there! From keeping fit to spending time with friends new and old, or even just learning a new skill, it is hard to find a reason not to take up squash. Even if you’re just interested in getting some weekly exercise in, squash is sure to deliver. In fact, studies have shown that weekly squash playing can dramatically increase your aerobic capacity and cardiovascular fitness, and all you need to play is a racket and ball.

At UCC Squash, we love to compete. However, we make sure to organize plenty of events and socials throughout the year. In recent times, we have travelled to Galway, Killarney, Belfast, Thurles and even Amsterdam, where we got to meet and play against some of the top professional squash players in the world. On our travels competing for UCC we also make sure to leave plenty of time to relax, as these trips can provide a welcome break from college work.

The Squash intervarsities is a mainstay in the Squash calendar that most members aim to represent UCC at. Apart from intervarsities, there is no shortage of competitions to take part in – within the club the squash ladder, club championships, and beginners’ tournament are always sure to host plenty of exciting moments! So, if you are ready to try something new, get fit and make memories for life, why not join the UCC Squash club? You can find out more about us across our social media channels or contact us by email.
