The club has welcomed schools to the courts with over 100 juniors trying squash for the first time during school days, the hope is to grow the schools squash over the coming months.

Head squash coach at the club, Damian Burgess, said: “We were really pleased with how many juniors signed up for the first few weeks, giving children the opportunity to play and new sport is the driving force to starting these new junior squash sessions at the leisure centre.

“The council, leisure centre staff and our other coaches at the club have been integral in setting up these classes and the first week of junior squash was great fun.

“I have been speaking to local schools recently to offer squash lessons to schools during school time and grow the junior section at the club off the back of that. We hope the juniors are inspired by Rhys Evans who came through the junior classes at the leisure centre 10 years ago to now become a professional player.”

In April the club also hosted a free squash day with over 40 juniors and adults taking to the courts to give squash a go and the club hopes to host another free squash day in June.

As well as junior squash the club has started new adult classes including women’s squash and racketball classes and all have been a success.

Aberystwyth Squash Club have new Junior Squash and Adult classes that run every week.
