Dumfries Sports Club

The club's powder blue court

Nunholm Squash Club was formed with the creation of Dumfries Sports Club in 1977. The club is now the main Dumfries squash club.

There are four courts, all with viewing facilities. The club has an ongoing commitment to court maintenance in order to continue to provide excellent facilities for our members. During the 2007-8 season three of the four courts have been refurbished.

There are in-house monthly leagues which run throughout the year. It is the venue for the Club Championships and also the Dumfries and Galloway Closed Competition and in 2007 was the venue for the Scottish Police Championships.

Several teams from the club participate in the Dumfries and Galloway Leagues. We have strong representation in the Masters Tournaments throughout Scotland and several individuals representing Scotland in the Masters Home Internationals each year.

Juniors
Juniors are welcomed. They are the future of the club and the sport. We have regular junior coaching sessions during the winter. Watch this site for dates and times! These allow juniors of all abilities to meet and play others of a similar standard. We offer free pool table use and juice between games to enhance the social aspect of this session.

Juniors also get the advantage of reduced court fees at off peak times.

Schools: the courts are used by the local secondary schools for squash as a P.E. subject at off-peak times on specified weekday afternoons.

Free Squash
On Saturdays and Sundays from 6pm club members can play on any of the four courts for free! If you wish to guarantee your game it is recommended that you book for the token charge of 20p.

Squash for all
In Dumfries, squash is a game played by all ages from 8-80 years. You can play at any level from complete beginners to national standard. All it takes is a racquet and a ball and a worthy opponent!

If you start slowly you can work your way up in standard or just play for fun and the exercise.

There is nothing like 45 minutes of squash to get some good hard exercise in a short time. It fits easily in to a busy life.

After your game have a shower and come up to the bar for a drink. You can watch others play from the balcony or take in a cricket match whilst you relax and are welcomed to the premier squash club in the Dumfries area.

We would be delighted to welcome new members of any age to the club. For more information contact the Sports Club on 01387 252527.
