Squash & Racketball

Welcome to the England Squash affiliated Manor Park Squash and Racketball (S&R) club. The S&R section currently has around 120 regular Squash and Racketball playing members of all ages and abilities. Manor Park is a friendly and sociable club offering excellent facilities. The Manor Park Squash & Racketball section has 4 courts, including two glass backs, which is used for in-house and outside competitions.

We are very proud of our Racketball section, they say this sport is an easy game to start playing but a hard game to master. Racketball is played on a squash court using a bigger bouncier ball than a squash ball and a larger racket.  It is the perfect sport for improving cardio vascular fitness.

If you need more information or are interested in joining the S&R section please email squash@manorparkmalvern.com

About the Coach

During my teenage years, I proudly represented Manor Park and was a top 20 nationally ranked junior. My journey continued as a Squash Scholar at university, where I discovered my affinity for coaching and teaching. Since 2018, my focus has been on personal training, including the successful management of a woodland gym in Surrey—a platform where I’ve assisted clients in attaining their fitness aspirations. What makes me different as a Squash coach is that I fuse my understanding of the game as a player with my professional insights as personal trainer and movement coach. As the new Head Coach I’m committed to guiding aspiring players and seasoned veterans alike towards reaching their full potential on the squash court.

Manor Park Racketlon Tourno 2024

12th October 2024 saw the second Manor Park Racketlon Tournament take place. 25 players started arriving from 8:45am to eagerly see the tournament draw. Two draws had been made, Group A for top League players, and Group B for lower League and social players, therefore we would have 2 Racketlon Champions at the end.
Racketlon is a sport involving playing a match of badminton, squash, tennis and table tennis against the same opponent. Each sport is played to 21 points and the player with the greatest total number of points over the 4 sports is the winner.
Matches started at 9am with players walking over to the Dome at MSJ to play the badminton then returned to Manor Park to play the other 3 sports. There were a lot of very close matches, with the calculator regularly being needed to work out the score going into the last sport of table tennis to see how many points both players needed to be the overall winner! At about 3pm we had the reached the final stages of the two tournaments. The final of Group A would be between no. 1 seed Sam Laidler (last year’s winner) and no. 2 seed Beth Pye (current Racketlon Girls under 18 World Champion) and the final of Group B would be between Jon White and Ralph Cook. The match between Jon and Ralph was very close, but Jon came through victorious and therefore won Group B. The final between Sam and Beth couldn’t have been any closer with Sam going into Table tennis 8 points ahead so he needed 14 points in table tennis to win the match and Beth needed 21. The crowd were going wild when the score reached 13-20 as it meant that both players had match point, a careful rally was played with Sam being victorious. Dave Wilson and Ben Westwood played for 3rd/4th position in Group A. After a marathon tennis match, Dave couldn’t quite keep Ben to a low enough score in table tennis meaning Ben claimed 3rd position!
The players were then desperate to refuel by enjoying their promised pizza, but a power cut in a certain part of Malvern meant pizza was off the menu so Julian hurriedly organised fish and chips for the players instead!
Huge congratulations to everybody that took part, hopefully the aching bodies the following day won’t put you off playing again! It was great to see different club members taking the opportunity to mix together and have a fun day.
Many thanks to Julian Clapp for organising the event and Helen and Jackie for helping on the day.
