Not at all! Whether you’ve never held a squash racket before or you’re an experienced player, everyone is welcome. In TIDN it’s all about playing together, challenging each other and offering mutual support. We also provide trainings for different skill levels to help you improve your squash skills. 

Absolutely! While we are based at Erasmus University, our doors are open to squash enthusiasts from all walks of life. However, as a student association, priority will be given to students and those affiliated with the university when it comes to the limited membership spots.

Certainly! We encourage exchange students to join our association and become a part of our diverse and vibrant squash community during their stay. We are offering half-year memberships starting from September or January, and are happy to have you on board.

Watch out! Our squash courts are not located in the “new” Erasmus Sports building! 

How to find us:
If you are standing in front of the “new” Erasmus Sports building, facing the Erasmus Sports cafe, you have to turn around 180 degrees and walk across the bike stands to the opposite building. You can find the entrance to the squash courts right there: in between Hatta (student dorms) and the campus bar Smitse. Our TIDN banner will guide you the way: you have to enter the building, go through the hallway, and then down the stairs to reach our courts.

For a comfortable and safe time on the squash court, we suggest getting specialized squash shoes. Squash shoes are tailored for the sport’s agility and intensity and provide ankle support and cushioning to absorb impacts. You can purchase them online or in local sports stores such as Decathlon or DAKA. However, if you are a beginner or don’t own any squash shoes yet, standard sports shoes with non-marking (i.e no black), lightweight soles are a good alternative. 

We expect everyone in the association to bring their own equipment, including a racket and squash balls. To get you involved right away, we provide rackets for our new members in the beginning so that you can start playing already until you have your own equipment. We do not sell rackets ourselves, but we are happy to give you advice and help you find a racket that suits you! We do sell squash balls and squash (over) grips at the courts, so you can get these from us!
