About Us

UCT Squash club does care about improving its members’ squash ability but The UCT Squash Club is about much more than squash. At the squash club we are all apart of one family who play some good, and some not so good squash but most importantly it’s the people in the club that make it such an incredible place. Come join the squash club in 2025 and you will be welcomed with open arms no matter your squash level.
