Junior Play – we encourage all junior players to come to this session with a view to getting them integrated into our junior teams as an option, if desired. This extended session allows the opportunity for coach support, drills/practices and match play.

Racketball and Women’s Squash – both these sessions are aimed at getting more people on court so non-members are welcome to come along and try it out. Hopefully, any non-members will enjoy it so much that they will decide to join and become a member of the club’s Squash & Racketball section.

Improvers - If you are looking for a session for beginners and intermediates from age 9 and upwards then this is an ideal session for you. If you are looking for a weekend alternative, then Saturday squash is your best option. If you are hungry for more squash then do both!

Adults Beginner Squash sessions - we are looking to see if there is any appetite for a beginner’s session on Wednesday evenings 6:30 - 7:30. Although this session has been timetabled, it will only run if a sufficient number of people are interested so, if you are, please get in touch and hopefully we can get it up and running as soon as possible.

Payment details

If you are a Berkhamsted School student attending a Berkhamsted School After School session, there is no charge as it’s a school led session.

There are six weeks in the next half term block with the final week commencing 12th February. The discounted Pay Up Front cost of £42 is available for all group sessions except for Elites which is £60, as shown in table below.

Group Coaching Session	Block Up Front Payment (before 5-Mar-23)	Pay As You Go rate
Elites	£60.00	£10.00
Improvers	£42.00	£8.00
Saturday Juniors	£42.00	£8.00
Squash Stars	£42.00	£8.00

Womens Squash	£42.00	£8.00 for members £10 for non-members

The Block Payment Up Front price in the table above will be available for the first two weeks until Sunday 21st January and I would encourage all regular players to take this up as you benefit from a £1.00 discount on the PAYG rate.

Alternatively, if you choose to ‘Pay As You Go’ I would ask that you email or text to let me know, so I can confirm the viability of all respective sessions (I will be in touch if this is not the case). I wish to avoid not booking enough courts and likewise running sessions that are financially not viable after paying the respective coach so please confirm your Group Session place as soon as possible.

(Note: an attendance register is maintained so Up-Front payers can request a reduction for more than one missed weeks on the next half term’s Up Front payment.)

All Player members need to continue to book in advance and pay online per session.

Monday night’s Team Training is popular, so you will need to continue to book in advance as places will be on a first come ‘Pay As You Go’ basis priced at £10 per session.

As a reminder and for ease of reference, here are my bank account details.

If you would like to make a contactless payment (bank card/ smartphone) your coach has access to a Zettle Card Reader to take payment at the club.

Junior Box Leagues

In order to play in these box leagues you will need to be a member so that we have you on the system as we will be doing it all online. The format will be that you arrange to play the other players in your league at a mutually convenient time. They will run about every 3 to 4 weeks. We have 3 box leagues and we are looking to grow this so please get in contact if you are interested.
