What is squash?
Squash is a conditionally intensive sport and it has some relation to tennis; it is a racket game played by two people. Unlike tennis, squash players do not face each other but side by side and can use the walls. Therefore, there is no net and the (soft) ball is always played against the opposite wall.
At BRESS, we have 6 squash courts available for hire for both members and non-members. Check our squash rates here.
You can rent a squash court online via bress.baanreserveren.nl (registering for the reservation system is free of charge). Please read the booking conditions carefully in advance.
Important: Black soles or soles with black areas are prohibited on our squash courts. Squash may only be played on indoor sports shoes.
Meet our trainers. They are ready to teach you all the tricks of squash. Prices: per half hour €15 excluding half court rental and per hour €29 excluding half court rental.
Note 1: There are no evening squash training sessions only during the day between 07:00 – 18:00 and in the weekends.
Note 2: Taking lessons is possible without BRESS membership.
“As a professional squash player, I have enjoyed teaching squash at BRESS for almost 10 years now. I work with squash players on specific areas for improvement or teach beginning squash players the basics of the game. I also help the more competitive players who play in tournaments, leagues or the BRESS squash ladder with training exercises focusing on technical, tactical or physical aspects of the game. Do you want to start playing squash or work on something specific? Get in touch and let’s train!”
Teaching moments: Friday 11:00 – 18:00, Saturday + Sunday 09:00 – 15:00

“With almost 20 years of experience, I still share my passion for squash every day to young, old, beginning and experienced squash players. For beginning players, the basic rules and techniques are discussed so that you can quickly play a fun match against a friend or in the BRESS ladder competition. If you are more experienced, we will discuss the tactical side of the game with various exercises to simulate a match situation. In short, there are squash lessons for every level and every ambition at BRESS.”
Teaching moments: Monday till Friday 07:00 – 18:00, Saturday + Sunday 09:00 – 15:00
