To receive all the perks? Yes.
To book a court independently, play in our box league, NY squash league, and receive discounted pricing on clinics, challenge groups, Individual Training Program, lessons, and more, you need to be a member. You also receive access to special events, our PSA partnering pros, not to mention our amazing community.
Non-members can play in our Round Robin, take lessons, and join clinics for an additional cost.
Yes, Juniors will need a $129/month Junior membership that gives them access to court bookings and clinics to sign up for most Junior Academy programming. You can sign up for a Junior membership via Clublocker. Scholarships and income-based discounts are available. Learn more about if you qualify and how to apply.
We did! We offer individual and family discounted rates on all three membership tiers. You can find more about that HERE.
Junior Academy classes are mixed age for kids 5 to 18 years old, and are sorted by skill level. The only exceptions are classes for kids under 6 and teen-only classes for younger or older beginners on the Green Team (which is generally 0-2 years of experience). See guidelines here.
Squash for all! We want to democratize squash and open up this incredible sport to a broader audience. We are New York’s first and only public, non-profit, dedicated squash facility specifically designed to help make the sport more visible, vital, accessible, and affordable. We offer sliding scale membership discounts and junior scholarships, in addition to our three membership tiers in order to reach a more diverse socioeconomic audience.
