Social Junior Squash Evenings

Get Involved: Junior Social Night

Young players gather for relaxed squash sessions that combine friendly matches with plenty of laughs and skill practice. These evenings suit children and youth keen to hit the ball around without pressure, whether they are new to the sport or already swinging a racket confidently. Participants rotate through courts, pair up for games, and enjoy a lively atmosphere that keeps everyone moving and chatting between points 🏸.

The format stays casual, with coaches and volunteers on hand to offer quick tips when needed. Kids build confidence through repeated rallies and light competition, while also learning basic court etiquette and teamwork. The focus stays on enjoyment and steady improvement rather than serious results.

These junior social nights run every Thursday evening at Shepherds Park Squash Club, giving families a regular midweek activity that fits around school and other commitments. The club welcomes visitors alongside regular attendees, so new faces can simply turn up and join in.

• Play multiple short squash games with different partners
• Practise serves, volleys and footwork in a low-key setting
• Meet other young players from the Beach Haven area
• Receive occasional pointers from experienced helpers
• Use club equipment if you arrive without your own racket
• Finish the evening with a cool-down and group chat

The sessions take place at the squash courts in Beach Haven, Auckland. Limited on-site parking is available for those driving, while several bus routes serve the surrounding streets for anyone travelling by public transport. Arrive a few minutes early to sign in and warm up before play begins.
