Racquets

Squash

The centre for all squash leagues and coaching is now Westridge Squash and Tone Zone.  There are seven state-of-the-art squash courts with competition-standard floors and a first-floor viewing gallery. An eighth court is due to open in late November 2012.

The two remaining squash courts at The Heights are now being upgraded and will be open early in 2013.

If you’d like to start playing squash or are after tips to improve your game, there are lessons and coaching for all at Westridge.

Badminton

Badminton is a totally inclusive activity, whether you are young or old, disabled or non-disabled, and from whatever background. It’s easy to take up, fun to play and is an extremely social sport.  It’s enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people in England each year – in 2008,  badminton was recognised as the biggest participation racket sport in the country.

There are six badminton courts in the sports hall at Medina Leisure Centre. Coaching courses are also run for all ages and abilities – call the leisure centre for more information when courses are run. Advance booking is recommended.
