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 committee please email squash@manorparkmalvern.com
