Head West for your next Squash Game
Did it seem like we used to play more?
Remember when … we played ball with the kids, kicked a soccer ball with friends, played Frisbee on the field or beach, competed against our friends in sport?
It seems like life pushes us into solo activities – Peloton, home gyms, anytime fitness – the pandemic stimulated ‘work from home’, which added more solitude. Too much Internet surfing, too many hours on Tik Tok or Facebook or online shopping. More pounds (as in our weight went up). Pretty soon, a month, a quarter, or a year will have passed. Uggh.
As the great Storrow Drive Road Sign was modified to say – it’s time to reverse the curse.
Sport again!
Let’s play sports; let’s build skills, let’s have fun, and let’s socialize after!


Reverse the curse
Reverse the curse with Squash at SquashWest: Squash & SquashWest are different. Here’s how…
- It’s egalitarian; players from 6 to 86 play together; ability has little to do with gender, size, or age. SquashWest has families with 3 generations playing!
- It’s simple; it takes a pair of shoes, goggles, a racquet, a ball, a partner, and an hour.
- It’s sport – it’s stunning how quickly the aerobic fitness comes back; how quickly ten pounds can be shed. Pickleball is recreation, Squash is a sport.
- It’s social; people that enjoy people enjoy squash.
- It’s community and diversity – Squash families hang out as families together; squash players thrive on camaraderie. SquashWest’s big open lounges and patios, and full member kitchen and grills inspire people to ‘stay’ and relax. Our beer and wine license doesn’t hurt when socializing.
- It’s fun to practice solo. Most squash skills can be practiced individually.
- It’s rewarding – it is not an easy sport to start but once one gets to a level, the progress and ability grows demonstratively.
- It’s a lifetime sport, people that play squash always return for more chapters of squash.
