Located on the prestigious Etihad Campus in East Manchester, the National Squash Centre and Regional Arena was originally built as one of a number of host venues for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Shortly after, the centre opened it’s doors to the public and has been servicing the communities of the surrounding areas ever since, as well as year on year hosting a range of sporting events from schools sports days to more high profile televised events including the PSA Squash World Tour, Manchester Squash International and the British Athletics Championships.     The centre boasts seven bookable squash courts including an impressive glass show court and a newly installed interactive squash wall (the only one in Manchester) which is a full wall projected screen offering both fun games and challenging training modes. There’s a 200m indoor running track and a 400m, ten lane newly refurbished outdoor running track, both of which have full athletics running, jumping and throwing facilities and our outdoor arena which can hold up to 6000 spectators is available to hire for events.   Everyone is welcome, all of our facilities are available to book and use by public through the Better UK app. and we offer competitively priced junior and adult learn to programmes for both Squash and Athletics, which are delivered by qualified and experienced coaches and are  suitable for those wishing to develop themselves or their children in to the sport. For those who are more experienced already and possibly looking to train more frequently with others, we’d be happy to introduce you to one or more of our resident clubs.   The centre is also home to a number of National Governing Bodies including England Basketball, England Lacrosse, GB Taekwondo, England Squash, Greater Sport, and Rugby Football League.
