In 2022, Biddenden Squash Club was honoured to be named England Squash Club of the Year—a national award recognising excellence, inclusivity, and community impact. We were proud to be commended for our thriving junior coaching programme, our inclusive approach that welcomes children with learning difficulties, and our success in encouraging more women to take up the game. The award also celebrated the friendly, welcoming atmosphere at our club.
As the national governing body for squash and racketball, England Squash works to grow the sport across all levels, from grassroots to elite. As a proud affiliated club, Biddenden benefits from this support—accessing coaching resources, structured development pathways, and national competitions. England Squash continues to champion the work we do locally, regularly highlighting Biddenden as an example of how clubs can thrive through inclusivity, strong youth engagement, and a vibrant, community-led approach to the game.
It’s not just about squash… it’s about people, passion, and building something special together
