PSA Tour (the professional squash tour) events are a great platform to be introduced to squash in style. The PSA Foundation is committed to leveraging the biggest platforms of our game to connect with new communities and introduce squash to more people. 

All of our bookings are free of charge, as we look to share the enjoyment of playing squash with as many people as possible! We look forward to meeting you at a PSA event soon. 

What does a school / youth group visit to a PSA event look like?
At the Manchester Open, you can expect a rotation of:

  • 30 minutes playing squash in the activation area, which includes portable courts, rebound nets and a jumbo interactive LED games wall. 
  • 30 minutes playing squash on full sized squash courts.
  • 30 minutes in the stands watching a professional squash match.
  • We may also be able to get a competing professional player to do a 5-minute Q&A with your group.
