Anyone interested in Squash?

[keenan87]

I recently bought a 1-year squash membership at the University of Calgary in an attempt to get back into shape and was wondering if anyone else on here is looking for a partner to play with or wants to get back into it?

I played for several years throughout university and would rank myself intermediate. I am no expert but definitely no slouch either.

If you are interested in setting-up some matches, shoot me a PM. The university is my choice of location because I bought a membership and because the facility has the most amount of squash courts in North America.

Oops, came here for the vegetable, not the sport.

I only play pickleball.

Those who can't play squash play tennis.

Those who can't play squash, play racquetball.

Used to play a fair bit. Great game and great workout. I'd play but a bit of a drive. Haha

I'd play but parking is a PITA / expensive AF

There are three courts at A E Cross School in SW (ie, at 37st and Richmond Rd SW). I do not know if it's a club or not.

I'd love to get back into playing squash, but the parking is a deal-breaker. I used to play a lot 25 years ago, but not so much since so I probably wouldn't be competitive.

I sued to play lots, but aggravated an old knee injury from skiing to the point I couldn't walk. Since surgery I haven't been brave enough to step back on the court.

They wouldn't let you play until you sued them? Rude!

Squash is a lot of fun. It's been 10 or so years since I played and I doubt my knees would hold up anymore. Getting old is fun.

If you (or other posters) are worried about parking, just PM me because as a recent alumni, there are a few spots around campus that I know are free parking with a maximum of 5-10 min walk. Parking in the evenings is not too bad at the University and mostly free.

First I've heard of Pickleball, looks pretty good!

[Northendzone]

I used to play until one day, it was my turn to play the eradicator and he robbed me of my will to play

Aren't those courts for Padel? Basically tennis courts with walls around them. Pickleball uses a smaller court I thought.

You might be right. I just assumed they were for pickleball because they are a different size compared to the tennis court right next to them. But after I checked some images on the WWW, I see that these are different courts at AE Cross.
