A new way:

Eastside Squash is transforming the way that squash is played in Tasmania, making squash more accessible, cheaper and community based.

Eastside Squash is now managed by an executive of interested volunteers which takes responsibility for all aspects of the Centre's operation; Squash programs, tournaments, bookings, finances, promotion, and membership. The objective is to have Squash thrive and grow in a sustainable way that meets the needs of the Tasmanian Squash community.

Walk-In-Squash is included as part of your Key Holder Membership. When you play, you will be allocated a handicap by one of the existing players. You will play three games to 31 points using point-a-rally scoring. As an example, if the difference between your handicap and your opponent's handicap is 7 the starting score will be -4, +3. Based on your results, your handicap will be adjusted for the next time you play. Walk-In-Squash is held at the following times:

- Monday 5:30pm

Come along and give it a go! Entry is by the door in the corner of the car park.

If you are over 35 years of age, you can put your name down to Masters Squash Pennant. Start as a reserve and take up a full-time position when one becomes available. There are three matches per court per night. The format is timed point-a-rally scoring with two halves. The first half is 20 minutes long and the second 15 minutes. This is a good work-out. There is a maximum of 36 players and each pennant usually last 11 weeks. All standards are welcome.

Masters Pennant is held on Monday night and starts at 7:30pm, finishes at 9:45pm with supper after in the clubroom.

Wednesday In-House Pennant is open to all age groups and all standards. Hand-In, Hand-Out scoring is used and there are three or four matches on each court. Start off as a reserve and take a full time spot when one becomes available. Each pennant usually lasts 6 weeks. This group has regular social functions.

For the more advanced and more competitive players there is an inter-club pennant competition. Three centres currently participate; Kingborough, Parsons and Eastside. There are two divisions and you will be placed in accordance with your ability.

There are no additional fees to play Inter-Club pennant. Home matches are covered and a full refund is given for payments at away clubs.

We have a few older members who play squash and Gentle Squash. Gentle Squash is played with a foam ball and shorter rackets. It is gentle exercise and very chatty. The Gentle Squash fee is covered by Key Holder membership.

If you are a Key Holder Member and you are a team member in the Monday Night Masters Pennant, Wednesday In-House Pennant or the Inter-Club Pennant you are automatically registered with Squash Tasmania and in the case of Monday Masters, you are also registered with the Tasmanian Masters Squash Association. People who are not Key Holder Members need to pay an annual fee.
