Welcome to Eastgate Club Squash & Racketball Section
Eastgate Club has a thriving squash section and growing racketball section, attracting members of all ages and abilities.
With 2 quality squash courts, viewing gallery, changing and shower facilities, a relaxing club room and outdoor seating area, Eastgate Club is the perfect sports and leisure venue. Set in the heart of Lincoln old town, members can enjoy a friendly chat with post-match refreshments in the backdrop of the iconic Lincoln Cathedral, while enjoying the views of our eight tennis courts and bowls green.
Eastgate Club offers squash and racketball to suit all abilities, with players ranging from beginner to elite county standard. We are proud to be able to field several teams each week across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Squash Leagues; as well as the Lincolnshire Racketball League (please have a look at the Lincs and Notts Squash League websites to see how we perform).
Internal Leagues and Competitions
Eastgate Club runs internal squash box leagues, hosted on Squash Levels Boxes, where members can compete against each other and upload results to the international Squash Levels platform. We also host competitions throughout the year, including our annual Club Championships in September; a wooden rackets competition at Christmas; a junior squash Grand Prix event; a Racketlon competition (where you play your opponent at table tennis, racketball, squash and tennis); as well as supporting various county squash events.
Squash Coaching
Our coaching partner, Squash Squads, delivers programmed group sessions for juniors, and 1-2-1 coaching opportunities for adult members.

If you are new to the game, looking to improve your skills, or just seeking new players, then Squash Squads deliver adult social coaching sessions every Thursday from 6:30-8:00pm: 45 mins of coach lead drills followed by 45 mins of match practice. Non-members are more than welcome to attend these sessions to experience what our club has to offer.
