Where to Play Squash in Calgary

Racquet Network does not own or operate any squash courts or squash facilities. Our players are active at the following publicly accessible squash facilities across Calgary. When necessary for tournaments and leagues, Racquet Network also rents courts from these same facilities.

Players are responsible for organizing their own matches paying their own court fees, booking their own courts and obeying the rules at the facilities they are using.

PRIVATE SQUASH FACILITIES

The following require memberships. Some are well managed. Some are not. We don’t review clubs and we don’t allow members to review clubs on this website because in the past, some clubs have retaliated against us for poor reviews posted by our members. We encourage all prospective members to investigate thoroughly before committing to a long term membership.
