Here at Wolverhampton Lawn Tennis and Squash Club we celebrated International Women’s Day with 2 give it a go squash and racketball taster sessions. Just some of our many fabulous WLTSC women!
Squash – An Exciting Game For All!
Squash has been really buoyant down at the courts – leagues are being played, competitions entered and hotly contested, friendlies are competitively played, mix-ins and courses are well attended and the matches are fiercely battled. We now have 5 teams in the Shropshire, Staffordshire and Warwickshire leagues, playing a great standard of squash and giving lots of our club players the opportunity to play different teams from across the various counties.
What a hive of activity, and this is just the adults!
Regional Masters Squash Tournament
The tournament ran for three days, with the finals across a variety of age groups on Sunday, November 6.
The event comes after the success of team England on the international stage at the Commonwealth Games, where they won five medals, and now WLTSC hosted this regional tournament to give players from different backgrounds the opportunity to play competitive squash.
The age categories ranged between 35-75 for men and 30-60 for women.
Helen Tottey, director of squash and racketball at WLTSC, said the competition was a ‘great success and added that the standard of the play was ‘very competitive’.
Masters of Squash
The Karakal Midlands Squash Masters is coming to Wolverhampton Lawn Tennis & Squash Club (WLTSC) on 4th-6th November and players are being encouraged to enter now.
Following the success of squash at the Commonwealth Games (CWG) where team England won 5 medals and it’s first women’s singles Gold, WLTSC are hosting another prestigious squash competition – A Regional Squash Masters event.
WOW! Radio speaks volumes of what WLTSC offers!
WOW! Did you hear Sports Manager Marc Hughes on Radio WM, speaking with Natalie Graham on #wellbeingwednesday last month?
The importance of personal wellbeing was discussed, not only coming from playing squash &, racketball, tennis; working out in the gym or taking part in one of the numerous gym/spin classes on offer at WLTSC, but also from the social benefits of the community of like-minded people coming together, often making life-long friendships. Listen from 1.33 to hear the full 10minutes.

A huge congratulations to everyone who has participated in our first half term squash camp! There was a great turn out, many fun activities and every individual has made superb progress. it was a brilliant experience for us all!
Also a massive well done to the coaches: Michael Harris, Tom Pryor and Tanita Patel, who made this event as amazing as it was.
Squash Stars
WOW what an experience I had at Birmingham 2022. I’d never been to a multi-sport event and to be a part of it has totally blown me away.
I had so much fun, inspiring, and entertaining so many young people, families, and squash fans. I truly hope the work I and the Squash United team, along with my wife AKA Mrs Squash did, and will continue to do, will eventually show in increased participation at clubs and sports centres and most importantly here at WLTSC.

Getting children stoked for Commonwealth Games
WLTSC opens its doors to children to stoke excitement ahead of Commonwealth Games. Last summer, a year before the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, organisers announced that they wanted to give one million children an authentic Games experience.
On Friday, the Wolverhampton Lawn Tennis and Squash Club fulfilled that dream and opened its doors to schools and members of the local community to get them involved in six sports which will take pride of place at the Games.
Children from seven schools got the run of the club until 2pm, where they got to try out squash, boxing, wrestling, wheelchair basketball, table tennis, and archery.
July is for Juniors
WOW what a month we’ve had at WLTSC. Juniors from our club, local schools and squash players from far and wide, have been the main focus this month. They have given us joy & laughter and pride at their keenness and dedication to trying something new, developing their skills and representing our club and themselves.
