If you fancy doing something a little different, then SoccerSquash is for you. The combination of squash and football is quite spectacular. Playing SoccerSquash puts your ball control, technique, shooting technique, fitness and speed to the test.<\/p>\n

SoccerSquash in a nutshell<\/strong><\/p>\n

SoccerSquash is a combination of squash and football and it is played with a special SoccerSquash ball on a regular squash court. The idea is that you kick the ball against the wall so that it bounces back in such a way that makes it difficult for your partner to return it. The ball is allowed to bounce only once and you are allowed to touch it no more than three times. Your opponent gets a point if the ball bounces more than once or if you touch it more than three times. Also, if the ball touches your arms or hands, your opponent gets a point. The full set of rules is available at our reception desk.<\/p>\n

Fancy trying it?
\n<\/strong>Squash courts 10 and 11 have been set up especially for you to practise your SoccerSquash techniques.<\/p>\n

You can book a court by calling 070 3635169.
\nYou can also rent a SoccerSquash ball from us.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”Shop”][image_with_animation image_url=”763″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]\n

You will find a great selection of women and men\u2019s clothes and shoes by Tecnifibre, Mizuno, PS-Wear, Salming and Karakal. And to complete your outfit, we have a wide range of accessories: bags, grips, balls and protective eyewear. Everything you need for on the squash court!
