MASTERS
ACT Masters Squash is an established squash association which has been operating in Canberra since 1980. We welcome all squash players, regardless of level, aged 35 and over. To play Masters Squash all you need is a racquet and some enthusiasm for having a good time with good company and getting some exercise while you do it. You don’t have to be a seasoned ‘squashie’. ACT Masters prides itself on offering a friendly way to play squash, where you can be as competitive as you like or not as long as you play with good humour and commitment to the enjoyment of everyone. This is what we call ‘the Masters Spirit’!
If you have recently ‘retired’ from playing squash, are thinking about it, haven’t played for a while and would like to start again, or are a beginner, why don’t you come along and try the Masters approach. We run three competitions a year, played on Monday and Wednesday nights starting at 7.30 pm. On Monday’s we play alternating between Woden and Dickson courts, and on Wednesday nights at Weston Creek Community Centre and Woden. These regular competitions are mixed and graded so that all standards of squash ability are catered for, from top grades to beginners.
