A new interactiveSQUASH system is ready to welcome squash players in UK.  The National Squash Center is located in the Etihad Campus in East Manchester. Built in 2002 for the Commonwealth Games the centre opened it’s doors to the public shortly after the event.

Since then the location is hosting a range of sporting events such as PSA Squash World Tour tournaments, British Athletic Championships and sporting events from local schools. The center has 7 squash courts including one glass court and now an interactiveSQUASH court.

The interactiveSQUASH system which was joint funded by MCRactive and England Squash is now operational.

Paul Hulme, Sport Strategy Officer: “Innovations such as interactiveSQUASH are important to ensure squash continues to be attractive to new and existing players of all ages and abilities. The digitalization gives us a great opportunity to reach out to new users and showcase the possibilities within the sport. We want to embrace the opportunities it can offer and excite the next generations of players in Manchester and beyond to get involved and play squash“
