Squash is a fast paced indoor racquet sport, known for combining fitness, skills and agility, making it a fun and exciting sport for players of all abilities.
At the Univeristy of Bristal Squash Society, we welcome everyone, from complete beginners to experienced competitors. Whether you're looking to improve your game, compete in our weekly leagues and competitions, stay active or to meet new people, we have something for everyone.
We offer weekly coaching, social squash sessions, internal competetions, and field 6 BUCS teams (4 Men's and 2 Women's Teams) allowing players to play at a level suited to them. Off the court we alos have a fantastic social calendar, with weekly socials, our annual tour, formals, and club events that make it easy to become a part of our community.

Bristol SU recognises that the costs of participating in student groups can be prohibitively expensive for some students. The Activity Hardship Fund was created to support those students who wouldn't otherwise be able to participate in their chosen activity due to the cost.
