Social squash and tournaments

• Social squash evenings are normally held every Sunday from 4.45pm to 7.00pm and every Wednesday from 6:15pm to 9.15pm, providing a great opportunity to play opponents of different standards. You can book and pay for the sessions using your membership login via the court booking portal. Non-members can attend a couple of Sunday sessions before joining but do let us know when you plan to attend using the enquiry form.
• A club closed and a handicap tournament are run each year, with more informal social squash tournaments organised throughout the year.

Leagues

• Comprehensive internal leagues run each month with around 100 participants ensuring a wide-ranging standard across the club.

Squash Teams

• Grafton has three teams competing in the Surrey Cup winter and summer county squash leagues. 
• The first team range from approx. 6000-2800 squash levels points and play in Division 4. The second team range from 2800-1700 points and are currently in Division 7 but hopefully moving to a higher division this year. The recently relaunched third team is in Division 8 and aims to offer the chance for all members to get some experience playing club standard squash.
