Essex & ESR are targeting schools to introduce squash as a new game that can be played both at school with the aid of mini squash walls and after at a local club. A number of schools in the Chingford / Woodford area have started and it is hoped that this will spread over the county, Squash was included in Essex Schools Games programme this year held at Harlow Leisurezone. 50+ children took part from schools all around Essex We hope that by this time next year the number will double.
