Anyone know of a decent Expat squash/badminton club?

Well when you ind one let us all know!!
If you want to play some competitive squash there is the riyadh Squash leagues. Google --RIYADH SQUASH

In all my time here i have never seen a lady squash player!!

I play at the Intercontinental -- they have 3 courts --
Also play at Arabian Homes and Fal compound.

Good luck

lol mix  and in riyadh,,,,, wishes never come true .. intercontinetal is the best choice if u wnana play squash... trevorcoxx is perfectlly rite..

Here is the URL of GulfLeagues  Riyadh Squash League:  http://www.gulfleagues.com/index.php/Ge … eague.html

I've been a member but then realized that I was not a league person. The only thing I needed was to play casually. So am inactive since long

We are a group of 3 playing at the intercontinental (1 advanced, 2 intermediate). Let me know if anyone is interested. Cheers

Hi There

Yes I am very interested --I play there often myself

Regards

Trevor

This sounds promising...may be we could sort a group? What nights do you currently play at Inter?

good Evening

Just had a game of squash at the Riyadh Football Club courts --3 excellent glass backed courts and only 15 sar for how ever long you play.

Intercon is 100 sar for a guest!

if anyone wants to make a bit of a group then I am all for it
Club is the first exit after the DQ/ Ritz Charlton on the Jeddah / Meca road
  Regards

Trevor

I am on for a Thursday / Friday game this week.... though 100 SAR is steep..... Pls. confirm will go and buy a Racquet then :p

Riyadh club seeems the most likely place as its 15 sar.
Also seems as if you have expenditure for a racquet .
If you want to play Friday pm say around 15.00 hrs I can meet you there

And this also goes to anyone else that wants to play

Regards

Trevor

I am away this weekend in the UK but agree with Trevor that the Riyadh football club courts would be the best option. Will join after this weekend....

TheLegend / Rob /Trevor

Apologies for the radio silence. We are squash members at Intercon paying 2350/year, but all said we can play anywhere. I tried looking for Nade Riyadh once (the football club), but sadly its slightly far off from where I live though I can join you guys there on the weekend.

I will just PM you my contact details and let's get together soon!

Squashy Regards

Good afternoon

Are yu sure that the Arabian Homes squash courts are ok !!!
2 of my friends live there but do not play there because thay are not in a good condition -last time i played there water was leaking on the floor form the AC and the floor had not been swept and was slippery.
Riyadh club seems a better bet to me

Yeh I find them a bit slippery too, I thot that was due to my shoes , but apart from that everything is fine....

We can try this court once and if its not OK, then I don't have any issues playing at Riyadh Club !!

I have a friend who is part of a little squash club in his compound at Palm Court

Welcome to Riyadh Bro, You can buy them in plenty at the hyper markets... But I think the problem would be finding the Badminton courts.... As I haven't seen people discussing this much on this forum.

Hope you find a good court and do Let us know the details too....
