Shaped locally
Councils, squash associations, schools, clubs and community organisations help identify local priorities, suitable spaces and people who can deliver a programme.
A Squash Dog initiative · Global ambition. Local communities.

Outdoor courts.
Communities that keep playing.
Let’s Bounce brings people, places and partners together to develop welcoming outdoor squash communities around the world. A Squash Dog initiative, it connects suitable courts with coaching, inclusive activities and reasons to keep playing. Our current exploration includes London, East Staffordshire and Rome, alongside national-association discussions in Brazil and India. In Jamaica, a recent school introduction raises a useful question about how interested young people can continue playing; no outdoor project or local partnership is established.
Help shape a project, suggest a space or become a founding partner.
A world of local communities
Our ambition is to help more people find their way to play, connect and belong. Each opportunity starts with the community: what people want, what already exists and who can sustain a welcoming programme. Courts and regular activity develop together.
Councils, squash associations, schools, clubs and community organisations help identify local priorities, suitable spaces and people who can deliver a programme.
Share practical lessons across countries while adapting facilities, equipment and activities to local climate, culture, access needs and existing squash provision.
Bring hosts and sponsors together around a viable operating plan, affordable access and regular activity. Measure first-time participation, return visits and what helps people belong.
Represent a council, national squash association, Olympic committee or another sporting organisation? Help identify a practical first opportunity. A local pilot can connect schools, coaches, clubs and sponsors around continuing participation.
Discuss an opportunity in your countryLocal projects. National conversations.
Explore early projects in Brent, Newham, Kingston, Westminster, East Staffordshire and Rome, alongside association-led discussions in Brazil and India. Schools, clubs, community organisations and businesses can help shape a practical first step.
These are exploratory projects, with no confirmed site, funding or delivery agreement. Interest is not an endorsement or agreed partnership.

Imagine noticing a game as you walk past, having a go, then returning with a friend. Visible outdoor courts can introduce squash to people who might never have thought to enter a club.
Our ambition is a welcoming local hub with suitable equipment, coaching, affordable ways to play and connections to nearby clubs. New public recreation should complement the places and activities communities already value.
Coaching and independent play can happen alongside each other. Beginners and experienced players can share a destination, with space for social sessions and small events. Two courts are our preferred permanent-hub hypothesis; a single court or temporary activity may be the right first test.
What makes an outdoor project viableIllustrative programming, not an available timetable. Sessions depend on local demand, resources and suitable facilities.
Mornings
Beginner groups, Squash 57 and supported adapted-play sessions.
School time
School and community-group visits, led by appropriate coaches.
After school
Junior coaching and family sessions alongside independent play.
Evenings
Social doubles, singles, friendly ladders and coached practice.
Weekends
Taster sessions, open play and small local festivals.
Find your game
Different ages, abilities, ambitions and starting points. The programme should help each person find a format, pace and ball they enjoy.
01
A suitable wall can introduce racket skills and offer practice in a community space. Access, equipment and an onward route into play belong in the plan.
Explore rebound wall activities02
Never played? Start with a welcoming introduction, a suitable ball and time to find your feet. The aim is an enjoyable rally and a reason to come back.
Plan your first game03
Play one-to-one or enjoy a team game. Suitable recreational doubles needs the right format, space, players and coach or operator guidance; purpose-built doubles courts offer a wider layout.
Court sizes and doubles04
A place to discover the game together, with age-appropriate sessions and equipment. Children’s involvement is through a parent, guardian, school or authorised organisation, with clear safeguarding responsibility.
Starting safely05
Also widely known as racketball, this format uses a larger, bouncier ball. It offers another way to enjoy rallies, from a first session to competitive play, across ages and experience levels.

Right Ball Squash means choosing the ball for the player and the conditions. A bouncier ball can make rallies easier to sustain; double-yellow-dot balls are not the starting point for everyone.

Wheelchair squash brings movement, strategy, competition and the pleasure of a shared game. It belongs in the conversation from the beginning.
We want disabled players to help define, test and improve the courts and activities. Manufacturers, access specialists, coaches and community organisations can help turn that experience into a practical design brief.
Help shape accessible squashStep-free approaches, suitable gradients and thresholds, usable entrances, nearby accessible toilets, seating and space to rest.
Wheelchair movement, floor grip, drainage, glare and safe entry and exit, reviewed with players, manufacturers and access specialists.
Suitable equipment, coaching, assistance, clear booking information and affordable access, with maintenance that preserves usability.
Suitability must be assessed for the actual court, wheelchair, format and operating arrangements. We will distinguish proposed features from tested provision and publish each facility’s access information as projects develop.
A useful fit for public space
A singles squash court has 62.4 m² of internal playing area, compared with 200 m² for padel. That compact size is a useful starting point when exploring places for more people to play.
Our wider doubles-court example is 9.75 × 8.42 m, about 82.1 m². Two such courts total about 164.2 m² of playing area, roughly 18% less than one padel court, with capacity for eight doubles players where suitable.
This is an area comparison, not a promise that two complete installations fit into one padel site. Layout, access, foundations, structures and supporting facilities need a separate assessment.

Starting in London
We are engaging with local authorities to understand their priorities and the right route for outdoor squash proposals. London’s 32 boroughs and the City of London Corporation provide the initial geographic focus.
We are looking for publicly accessible locations where squash could add value: parks, existing leisure sites, suitable urban spaces and potential meanwhile uses. Land rights, planning, neighbours, noise, drainage, weather, access and long-term stewardship all matter.
The directory is an engagement map, not a list of 33 approved projects. Suggestions and enquiries do not establish council endorsement or permission to build.
01
Build local interest, identify landowners and ask councils about the right process.
02
Explore demand through existing-venue or temporary sessions, and develop the site and accessibility brief.
03
Confirm permissions, costs, an operating partner, community programming and a funding plan.
04
Deliver the hub, measure participation and repeat visits, and use the learning to guide expansion.
Help make it happen
Financial support, practical expertise and local partnerships can help turn a promising idea into a viable project and a community that keeps using it.
01
Local engagement, feasibility, accessible design, supplier assessment and the project management needed to move an idea towards delivery.
02
Participation pilots, appropriate coaching, equipment and opportunities for free or subsidised sessions where funding permits.
03
For an agreed project: site preparation, courts, access, installation and a realistic plan for maintenance and ongoing community activity.

Why Let’s Bounce?
“Let’s” is an invitation: let us get outside, get moving and get together. In squash, a “let” gives a rally another chance. “Bounce” is the ball, the movement and the momentum.
The name captures what we want to make possible: more people finding their game, sharing a space and keeping the rally going.
That invitation is personal. After his first game, our founder bought a second racket so he could bring somebody else along. Let’s Bounce carries that same instinct into our work to make squash more visible and accessible.
Read Paul’s second racket storySquash makes its Olympic debut at LA28. Alongside that global stage, there is an opportunity to help more people discover their own way to play, through new venues, formats and communities.
Squash at LA28Let’s Bounce is an independent Squash Dog initiative. Our ambition is to turn interest in the game into welcoming local participation.
Brisbane 2032: current status and our wider missionPractical answers
Let’s Bounce is a Squash Dog initiative with a global ambition: develop visible outdoor places to play and welcoming communities that keep playing. Local people, councils, squash associations, coaches, schools and sponsors help shape each opportunity. London is our first local focus, with an early school opportunity in Rome and association discussions in Brazil and India. Fagan Consulting Limited is the legal operator.
No Let’s Bounce court is currently listed as open for booking. Our project pages record early local and national-association discussions; they are not a directory of operating Let’s Bounce venues. You can share local interest now or use Squash Dog’s Play section to plan a visit to an existing venue.
Beginners are central to the idea. The proposed programme includes introductions and suitable equipment, subject to the resources available at each hub. Actual sessions will need to state what is provided, what to bring, how to book and any costs.
Wheelchair squash programmes already exist, including examples published by Squash Ontario. Let’s Bounce aims to include wheelchair and adapted play through player-led design and testing. A step-free route alone does not establish that a court, surface or programme is suitable for a particular player or wheelchair.
Doubles is part of the intended community offer where the court, format and safety arrangements support it. Purpose-built doubles courts are wider than singles courts. Some recreational doubles formats use singles courts, but suitability must be assessed with the operator or coach; not every court or player group is suitable.
We want affordable access, with free or subsidised opportunities where sponsorship and other funding make them possible. There is no confirmed Let’s Bounce tariff. Each eventual project needs a published access and pricing plan that also pays for safe operation and maintenance.
The current support journey accepts voluntary project support payments to Fagan Consulting Limited for the wider Squash Dog initiative. It is not a ring-fenced fund for a particular court or borough. Squash Dog is operated by a VAT-registered commercial company, not a registered charity, and these payments are not eligible for Gift Aid. Sponsorship, paid services and council-funded deliverables are separate arrangements and may be subject to VAT. Contact us to discuss project-specific funding, sponsorship, cancellations or refund requests.
An enquiry or suggested location is not a promise to build. Current general support helps the wider initiative. Before any site-specific fundraising, we would publish the recipient, purpose, budget, dependencies and terms for shortfalls, delays or unused funds.
Every project needs a site-specific operating plan covering weather, drainage, floor performance, opening and closure decisions, maintenance, lighting, insurance and safeguarding. A named operator and sustainable operating budget are part of feasibility, before installation.
Yes. Share your country, community, organisation and local priorities. We welcome enquiries from councils, national squash associations, other sporting bodies, hosts and potential sponsors. Each opportunity needs local leadership, appropriate permissions, suitable facilities and a viable programme. An enquiry starts a discussion, not a commitment to delivery.

Let’s Bounce is led by Paul Fagan through Squash Dog, an enthusiast-led participation, community and commercial venture. Fagan Consulting Limited is the current legal operator.
We will update local records as enquiries, permissions, funding and delivery arrangements develop. Success means people trying squash, returning to play, and facilities that can be maintained and run responsibly.
