Our global mission
We bring squash closer to more people through two complementary programmes: Hello, Squash, which helps people discover the game and find a way in, and Let’s Bounce, which develops visible outdoor places to play with local partners and programming that can help turn first encounters into continued participation.
Two complementary pathways
Meet the initiatives bringing squash closer to more people, in more places.
Spreading the word
There are many ways to play squash, across ages, abilities and experience levels. Hello, Squash introduces people to the format that’s right for them, with different ways to play and balls designed to make longer rallies easier. It starts with sharing squash with someone new.

Let’s Bounce engages communities with outdoor, all-weather courts. We work with manufacturers, associations, clubs, public authorities, sponsors and local communities to make each project possible. Local programming helps people watch, try, return and keep playing.
