Benefits of Squash in Cairns

If you or your kids are looking to join a sport (or 2) in Cairns, we think Squash is an awesome option. Here's why.....

- Air conditioned

All 8 courts are air-conditioned. Don't worry, you will still get hot and sweaty as long as you are running!

- Rain? What rain?

As an indoor sport, squash is very rarely affected by the weather. There are virtually no cancellations, no muddy or soggy shoes or dirt through your car. A lightning strike might make the power go out, but it won't kill you!!

- All Levels of Engagement Supported: from fun and social, to friendly comps, to experienced hard-core competitions

Some people just want to play with friends. Some people have plenty of sheep stations so just want a sporting comp that is friendly and not too serious. Some people relish the idea of finally conquering that player that beats them for reasons that cannot be fathomed (Marc & Steve can help with that)!

No matter what your preference is, Cairns squash club has you sorted.

- Controlled, Safe Environment for Junior Players with Large junior Community

Thanks to the coaching of Marc & Steve, the awesome support of Cairns Squash Club committee and the unwavering support of the parents involved, the junior club has become one of the success stories of sport in Cairns and Queensland. The club is now considered on of the premiere clubs in Australia, boasting a great percentage of top junior players in Australia.

One of the most satisfying aspects of the Junior program is the professional, mature and respectful 'on court and off court' behaviour of the juniors involved. Read more here

- Very Successful Club with World Re-known Trainers

Marc Forster & Steven Finitsis are very well regarded in squash playing and coaching circles. Over the last 6 years, they have turned Cairns Squash Club into one of the leading clubs in Australia for junior squash champions. They are ultra professional, extremely approachable, down to earth individuals who genuinely want the best for each player. Read more about Steve and Marc here

While Squash has been documented as being the greatest calorie burner of any sport, you don't have to be the fittest player to do well and have fun. People with good racquet skill can still beat people who are fit and fast. People with strategic play can still win against racquet skill. It is a joy to see our young up and coming juniors play our crafty senior players as they rise through the ranks and mature those other skills.
